Works well. - Single board computer

So far so good. Easy to assemble and keeps the Pi cool, very happy with it. When I had to pick something, the screws and threads seemed a bit small to me and I could see them tearing off along the way, maybe if I had access to the circuit board.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Volume

Great case for Raspberry Pi 4

I would give this case 4.5 points. Came with everything needed for installation. The only problem was that the ends of the racks pressed against the chips had sharp protrusions due to mold marks. I sanded them a bit before assembling everything. Otherwise the bodywork is well made.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Gets heat from Raspberry Pi 4

I liked the idea that this case has pins to cool the USB/Ethernet and RAM chips as well as the CPU and GPU. He seems to be fine with it. I bought a separate large heatsink and glued it to the top of this case. I haven't had any heat problems. I use an overclocked 1.75GHz RPi4 4Gig as my desktop, surf the web, youtube, play music. It's adequate for my needs and doesn't overheat or even come close to overheating.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • No instructions

Perfect fit for Raspberry Pi 4

Perfect fit. Easy to assemble. The only case I found with 5 points of contact to cool all Pi components. Feels warm so I think it pulls heat away from the components. Completely silent! I haven't tested my Pi under load as I won't be overclocking it anyway. There are mounting holes to screw it to the wall which is a must for me. The only downside is the anodized aluminum alloy body, so I feel like it's not very durable and scratches easily.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Useless features

A good option to keep your Pi cool!

Got this for a Raspberry Pi project I was working on. I really wanted something that would cool the board. But I decided I didn't want the bedroom fan running all night. It was a cross between a Flirc case with a number of ratings and this one, which at the time only had one rating. After checking both options and looking at a few YouTube reviews (flirc only), I decided to take a chance. Both use an aluminum "notch" that makes contact with the processor, essentially turning the entire case into

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are cons
