Fun project for computers and accessories

It was a fun project. It took about 2 hours to assemble even though I misread the instructions. It's pretty durable. Works great with RPI4, RPI2 and RPI3.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • quality

the manual is too small

The manual is so small that you need a magnifying glass to read it (a sheet of paper in a folder isn't much bigger than a business card), but luckily it is pretty simple project. Pay attention to the orientation of the fan so you are actually blowing air onto the heatsink instead of sucking air in. This has a strong effect on the temperature of the processor!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Compatibility

Easy to assemble, looks great

Perfect for Raspberry Pi 3B+ and very easy to assemble. The only downside I have with this product is that the spacing between them is a little tight. It couldn't accommodate the custom heatsink I have and the fan at the same time. I would like to remove the holes as it looks silly to have a cluster case with holes for unused fans. Or an option with taller rack screws would be nice.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Damaged

This is the worst Raspberry Pi case I have ever used. The layers of plastic are so brittle that if you tighten the fastener even a little harder than "by hand" (e.g. just with your fingers), the plastic will tear somewhere. And as more layers are added, it's likely to crack somewhere, even with "finger tightening". The acrylic used is too thin and too brittle. Save hours of wasted time and pay an extra $20 for a properly assembled case.

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works for the price.

Fan and heatsink work great. Overall, the stackable open rack design is very functional and has greatly improved cooling for my Pi setup. BUT. Since then I've had three plates break with little to no movement. They're just incredibly fragile. Also, the mounting hardware is incredibly poor. My box had the correct nuts/bolts, but not all. Some hardware is the wrong size or thread. Very strange. The stands themselves are great, the fans work reasonably well, the heatsinks are adequate, like most…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Obsolete

Like the modular design

I really liked the modular design of this case. I had an old Pi and a new Pi 4 and wanted to keep them together. Of course, this case was NOT made using the mounting hole location for the original Pi (which I had to check, mine is bad), and the fan location is usually in conflict with the video from that board. However, the design made it very easy to just cut a new MDF base plate of the same size but with the correct mounting holes and flip the liner over to position the fan so it doesn't hit…

Pros
  • Pleasant
