Review on Makeronics Enclosure Transparent Assembly Instruction External Components by Major Lindsay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little case

First of all, the placement of the fan keeps the Nano cool for a long time even under heavy loads. For my machine learning experiments, I usually run this machine at a maximum of 10W, often running fairly long cuda jobs, which means the heatsink gets pretty hot. The fan turns on automatically and regulates the temperature. In addition, the case has numerous access ports so you can access headers (e.g. GPIO pins), which also facilitates airflow. Also, the black acrylic looks very nice which combined with the metal posts and screws and the high quality Nvidia PCB makes for a premium feel. Makes the whole combo look a little more expensive than it actually is. The only complaints (which are minor) are that the paper stickers protecting the surface of the case during shipping are annoyingly difficult to remove, leaving small pieces. embossed labels in recesses; It's a bit of a pain to assemble, but put together it's the best SBC case I've ever used.

Cons
  • boring packaging
