Review on πŸ“¦ Smraza Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Acrylic Case with Cooling Fan, 4PCS Heatsinks, 5V 3A USB-C Power Supply - Black and Clear (RPI 4 Board Not Included) by Roosevelt Weaver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great set for your money.

Includes Pi case, fan, three heatsinks, 5V, 3A power supply and instructions. I have ordered other Pi 3 cases and the acrylic layers were stacked but not bolted together. This one came assembled and assembled. That's good because if you accidentally open the box and spill the contents, the layers get jumbled and sometimes the assembly instructions aren't very clear. A protective film is applied to the top and bottom layers. The instructions say that if you have a broken layer, contact them for a replacement. Instead of openings for each of the dual HDMI, power, and audio cables, it has a single 2" x 0.25" rectangular hole. I think I would prefer this for better air/heat dissipation from the board. Also, there is another 2" x 0.25" hole on the other side in case you want to use a rectangular jack so your connectors are on the side instead of the top. It is not possible to mount the fan on the top level. Eating is understandable. It went without any problems. The instructions even showed how to connect the wires to the slow speed (3.3v) and fast speed (5v) connector. The kit included an extra bolt and nut. For those who noticed, I didn't remove the protective film as I'm waiting until I get my Pi 4. I would like lock washers on the fan studs as vibration can cause the nut to loosen and fall onto the board. Power is the declared 5V, 3 amps with a USB-C connector. Although there is enough voltage and current, this will not work on an earlier Pi due to the USB-C connector. just want it to work. The price is right, the installation is reliable. I'll update this when I get the Pi 4 to see how it fits, but I have no reason to think it won't fit. From what I've seen so far, I would order again.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...
