🔧 Enhanced Cooling Solution: Acrylic Case with Fan for Raspberry Pi X820 V3.0 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield Expansion Board Kit Review

Pros1. This is a clear acrylic so you can see all the details of the circuit board, lights and components.2. Even 12.5mm discs will fit, albeit a bit tight.3. All holes exactly match the inputs on both boards, there is enough space to install/remove the Micro SDCons1 system board. This thing is acrylic plastic, drop it from a height of more than a few inches and it will most likely "break" into no more than 6 pieces.2. Fan noise is quite audible in a quiet room. Not enough to send it back, but…

The only thing I really want are instructions. However, it wasn't difficult to find out. word to the wise. Loosely connect all sides (no need for metal stands all the way through!) until they snap around the Pi and USB ports. Then put the top on and then install the metal studs in each corner. The last thing you can do is THEN install the USB jumper after the plastic case is in place. Make sure the USB is facing up (without reading the USB upside down on the jumper). That being said, I think…

Excellent case. I bought it for my nephew who is interested in STEMS. I have the following problems. There were no instructions so I had to take the time to sit down and put the suitcase together. (Thanks to the stars for making this work.) - The power button has nothing to hold onto when you assemble it. It was pretty much dangling out of the box until I used a washer and super glue. I am using Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and after checking with other Pi models. It looks like the board was done…

It turns out that this product was for Raspberry Pi 3B and I have RPI 4B! Luckily I was able to use the file and a dremel to modify it and it works and looks great!

This case is made of high quality material and everything fits perfectly however the material is hazy acrylic and NOT clear acrylic as advertised in pictures or other reviewer comments. A little stupid when you want to show off your Raspberry Pi :(. Not worth sending back, but it's still a bit annoying. Btw, I would recommend buying another fan (40x40x10mm fan) because it's LOUD. Be sure to install a heatsink after assembly so your fins move in the right direction for airflow unlike me.

as advertised. The plastic parts look matt when delivered, but they are only a protective film. You remove the film before assembly. Foil is difficult to remove. 4 stars because the body is held in place by screw heads. It would be nice to use something that doesn't scratch the surface it's sitting on.

I really like the look of this cover, really nice. Excellent value for money and quality. Each surface is covered in a protective film, which can be a chore for some, but I like the idea that if it gets scratched it's my fault. Ideal for SATA HAT. My only problem during the build was that I didn't realize how little space there is for a full-size hard drive. This is definitely intended for a thin traditional drive or SSD. Because of this I had to change my plans, but that wasn't a big problem…

This case is just beautiful and very easy to assemble, even without instructions. You will need an X820 SSD Drive Adapter Board to use this case as the holes on the bottom are positioned to support an SSD board that itself uses the Raspberry Pi (or Libre Potato, Renegade, Tinker Board or any board with the same) supported form factor). Tips: 1. Remove all protective film from the parts. This is the most annoying step. 2. Build the Pi on an X820 board providing the necessary racks in the box. 3.
