Review on πŸ”₯ UCTRONICS Raspberry Pi Cluster with Metal Rack Case: 4 Removable Layers, Cooling Fans, and SSD Mounting Plate - Supports Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+/3B and Other B Models by John Koch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price is worth it! Trust metal, not plastic!

I just love this thing! I've tried to "unwind" so many cluster solutions over the past few years. It definitely is!, do yourself a favor, order a SATA SSD adapter, you won't regret it! more of this case as I did. Pros: - This thing is solid, doesn't wobble or move like other plastic/plexiglass etc pi cluster cases. We're talking solid and thick metal. - Everything fits, screws keep things in place GREAT cooling performance CONS - Some screws may not fit due to the thick powder coating. Just use the same screw to pull the cover through without the second piece. If you value your fingers, do the same as my attached drawings and get a mesh protector. I had serious problems installing and disabling things. The fans are running fast, but I just don't want to find out. like "fast" Note on UCTRONICS: I love this product! I'm confused by the lack of great reviews, this is such a good product that needs a few updates. I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for a flexible/semi-rigid magnetic mesh lid, you know, to save my fingers. Also, to maximize space, you must allow the SSD container to be installed on the top cover. Mesh Cover Ingredients: - Some wood/plywood 1/4" thick. - Metal chain link mesh. - Lots of 1/8 in. or smaller staples along with a stapler. - Black spray paint. - Sticky Velcro. * Optional, wood glue/crazy. Follow Just follow the drawings, make a wooden frame with the attached dimensions..Glue everything together.Spray paint, let it dry, no seriously, wait!Glue velcro on both sides.Done.
