Description of 🔨 GeeekPi Raspberry Pi Cluster Case, Stackable Raspberry Pi Rack with 120mm RGB LED 5V Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B/2B/B+ and Jetson Nano (8-Layers)

Wide Application --- The new 8-layers cluster case is designed for Raspberry Pi clusters, Raspberry Pi NAS servers, Jetson Nano clusters, and disk array clusters to to provide shell protection and cooling solutions. It’s compatible with Raspberry Pi4B/3B+/3B/2B/B+, 2.5MM HDD, Jetson Nano (Note: Not for Raspberry Pi Zero). Better Cooling Effect --- With 120mm 5V RGB LED Fan for better heat dissipation; This case is open on three sides with each acrylic layer containing enough space for maximum air flow for each Raspberry Pi; With a large fan on one side to flow strong wind for reducing the temperature of each Raspberry Pi;. Good compatibility with Raspberry Pi --- It can be access to all ports of Raspberry Pi board, such as GPIO port, HDMI port, USB port, SD Card slot and so on. It’s also compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B/2B/B+.

Wow complete rubbish

Yoo fragile AF waste of TIME and money sorry can't return it or not sure I never contacted. As soon as you unpack it, it breaks like thin, flat toothpicks. As one of the other guys comments you have to smash this thing to pieces when the Pi dies, what a hassle. It would be great if you could squeeze two handles to get it out. The only thing it's good for is a group of BTTJust mining disks. Don't even need it.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Was damaged

Works as expected good size fits anywhere looks good very loud

Easy to assemble, the only difficulty was removing the protected plastic on the walls of the tower. Lightweight yet durable. I got mine with five Rpi:s next to my office workstation. It is slightly above the loudness of the noise, but still at a normal level. Haven't found a way to control the fans or their lights yet, nothing particularly important, but it would be a fun touch to get started with the Raspberry Pi.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is ok

Poor design on computers and accessories

Poor design, basically you can't access any ports other than the USB or Ethernet ports on the R Pi. If necessary, you have to parse the whole thing. The system needs to blow air through the board, but everything is so tightly packed that you can't get much air through the system. USB/network ports create an air pocket and stop airflow to hot parts of the board. Overall poor design, poor execution, parts seem workable but totally useless as intended.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • No

Great case with flexibility

Great case. This gives a slot of attachment options. I built one with 4 shelves using 4 Raspberry Pi 4s and the advanced features they contain are lifesavers. I've used it with a SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB with no problems. I built a second 8 shelf case to easily use with 4 Nvidia Jetson Nanos. Shelves have pre-drilled nano holes. (The Nanos have a tall heatsink so you will need to install the Nano on every other shelf (8 shelf model for 4 Jetson Nanos). PLUS if you are using a Jetson Nano the…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No performance

Very durable and aesthetic.

I love this 8 tier shelf. The whole structure is very solid after assembly. I had an issue with the layers of plastic holding the pis. The corner piece that fits into the side frame slot broke when I tried to move it into the gap. I had to madly glue the piece and wait 24 hours before finishing the installation. Also, the red guide comb included in the kit had a small edge broken off as well. I guess my suggestion to buyers is to be careful when installing, plastic parts can break if slightly…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Some nuances

I really wanted it to work.

In general, the packaging of the goods is very good. All plastic parts are protected by a film that must be removed. Mounting the Raspberry Pi on the platforms is very easy. Final assembly is a little tricky until you get the hang of it. However, and this is a huge "but", SD card expansion cards didn't work for me at all. In any case, read errors prevented launch (I used 64GB Sandisk cards). In the end, after three hours of frustration, I had to exit the cluster case and return the four Rasps…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Overall a good case but there are areas that could be improved

I bought an 8 tier stand and am generally happy with it. The 5V fans are very quiet. However, there are several improvements. First, it is very difficult to align all the protrusions from the middle layers and from the fans with the slots in the top plate. The acrylic material of the thin middle layers is very brittle and I was able to break off some protrusions. I saw that the 12 tier version of this rack has a leveling tool (basically a plastic ruler with slots in it). exactly for this…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
