Great value, fun and personalization

Whether you intend to use this item as a model or as a suitcase, this item is of great value. First I assemble it according to the instructions just to see how I want it to look. like, and it was a fun little project. The guide drawings are black lines on very dark blocks and are a little hard to see, but once you get used to them you should be able to follow them without too much trouble. not the most practical case for the Raspberry Pi as it restricts access to some parts including the SD card and lacks proper airflow; but the beauty of this case lies in the ability to modify it. After completing the intended look (first image), I tore it apart and tweaked the case design to fit the Rock Pi X (slightly larger than the Raspberry Pi B), including a very large heatsink and fan, and even room for the antenna storage (other 2 pictures). My custom case may be just too similar to the original design, but I didn't need to use any additional blocks and was able to create something that fits my needs and looks better than my SCB standing on its own.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Quality
