📦 Yahboom Raspberry Pi Cluster Case: 6-Layer Acrylic Clear Box Enclosure (Without Raspberry Pi) Review

If you bought this and didn't check the website for instructions see the attached photo. Follow this closely and your build will be perfect! Like it a lot!

The tower was very easy to assemble. The beauty is that you can play as high or as low as you like. Plus, it helps keep you cool outside.

Bought these to stack various devices on the Raspberry Pi. The benefit is that if you don't use all the platforms, you'll have two or three stacks left to match. At the very least, you get some nice brass posts and nicely cut acrylic panels.

Putting together a fun little collection of Pi k8s is amazing. The stack looks cool with everything glowing and blinking. That's exactly what my kids think of "servers" so that works fine too. My only complaint is the paper backing, which needs to be removed. It really hurts to shoot, little circular spacers are the worst! But if you have long nails, scrape them off and they will eventually come off.

The final assembly looks very nice. As a result, I had to look at the picture on the internet as there was no instruction for how to do it. Several YouTube videos of the assembly showing how to insert racks backwards or skip pucks so the zoom was correct. One of the threads was very difficult to spin, but everything else was fine. Acrylic parts are covered with an annoying layer of film that is difficult to remove. I ended up soaking it in water to loosen it.

I'm deducting a star because removing the protective material from the acrylic dog bones was just a hassle, but I guess it's up to me and nowhere to place a small fan for each PI. Be flexible with the number of installed PIs. I only use three which gave me the option to put an SSD underneath for storage. I also have room at the top for another PI if I want to expand. I could have left a few tiers and used a small form factor, but the stack itself looks pretty impressive.

Item arrived with no instructions - but it was easy to figure out how to assemble. a HAT with your RPI4b. I'm using an official RPI POE+ hat and the device doesn't leave enough clearance (3mm between the fan on the POE+ hat) - so I added an extra M3x12+6 clearance for better airflow. I think the product is good value and the extra spacing is a slight improvement - I would recommend this even if you don't use a HAT. Check out the pictures I've included.

Fairly easy to build. Picking up paper glued to acrylic can be frustrating, but once it's done, assembling becomes a breeze. I can easily move my cluster from room to room if needed. I have just enough room for my PSU. There is not enough room for my network switch to fit in the slot. My only issue with them is the lack of ventilation. My Pi 4s heat up pretty quickly and I've had temperature warnings a few times. If you have a fan nearby blowing on them to cool them down, you should be fine…
