Review on MakerFocus Raspberry Pi 3 Case with Cooling Fan and 3.5 inch Display Slot - Compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO, Suitable for Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, 2B, 2B+ by Adolfo Goins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It would be 5 stars if the fan wasn't so loud!

I like everything about this set except the fan. It's too loud. I am using this for a Kodi media center and the fan is great for cooling but can also be heard in a closet. If there was an easy way to slow it down a bit it would probably help, but that little fan is already making way too much noise. Otherwise this set would have gotten 5 stars. I'll probably buy a slightly larger and slower fan (probably a Noctua 40x20mm 5v model) and modify the case a bit to make it fit. The main reason I chose this kit was the mounting holes which allow me to mount it in any orientation I want. with multiple screws and don't worry about it falling off. I LOVE the shop! It is very well built and keeps my RasPi free from dirt when installed in a hidden location.
