No PSU, Argon support not responding

I bought the Neo because of its sleek aluminum design and my previous positive experience with the Argonne One case. The device, as stated in the description, should come with a power adapter, but it doesn't. I emailed the seller/manufacturer and they responded to my message with a completely different response as if they hadn't read my original message. I have replied and never received an answer. They then asked me to give this review.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Long wait

Excellent passive cooling - Full access to ports

I use my Raspberry Pi 4 with a 433MHz receiver and a Nextcloud server 24/7 and it keeps it at 39 or 40 (optimal temp or cooler according to DietPi info) I had to do a bit of research on how to use thermal paste, take off the clear plastic covers on each side and leave them on the CPU and RAM (yellow area), press down a little, put on the upper case and fasten it, done. Overall assembly was easy and I am very happy with the product.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • High price

Case OK, PSU OK

Case works well and is easy to assemble. The only problem is that I got the version with the included power adapter and the power adapter makes a shrill noise that can be heard in a quiet room.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Minor issues

The heat has nowhere to go. Drill holes to release heat.

Great little box, well put together. Make sure you get a fan for it. Everything finds its place with strong magnets. Fall is like everyone says the heat has nowhere to go. So when you install the fan, you can feel it sucking in the lid. My Raspberry Pi 4 ran at 55-58 all night. And the case felt really hot. works from 38 to 40 c All in all if you have a drill and a small cup lid to make good patterns hope it's worth it.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A little repairable

Good case, could be perfect but.

Beautiful case and I love how it's made. Here are its shortcomings for my use: - The thick part with the camera mount is too thick and fits too close to the 4 pins where the poe connectors should be connected. This meant the Loverpi Poe hat I had could not be used as it needed about 1mm more. I'm not 100% sure if the poe cap is tight enough since the center of the case is higher than the base of the pin headers. Also, I'd have to modify it to get rid of the pins sticking out of the alternate…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Empty
