Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ NESPi 4 Case by RETROFLAG - Raspberry Pi 4 Case with SSD Case, USB-C Power Supply, HDMI Splitter Switch, Cooling Fan, and Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by Gabriel Rosenberg

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Robust body with a creative fun side.

If I could I would give it 4.75 out of 5. The build quality is amazing. It looks very solid and is a good weight - probably on par with the original NES but half the weight. Good instructions are included but just watching the video that accompanies this listing made everything a breeze. My Pi and drive installed in about 10 minutes. Using a drive storage cartridge is great and reduces the usual hard drive SATA cables, although this is obviously a one-time use of a novelty. If you want to build multiple MAMEs or Lightning Nodes or whatever, you'll need additional cartridge mounts, or you'll have to insert a drive into the case each time. The only thing I really complain about is that the power LED went off almost immediately for me. . At first I panicked a bit thinking my Pi or drive had burned out, but luckily/unfortunately it was just an LED. It doesn't matter to me, but others may need a refund.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Useless features
