Nice case for Raspberry Pi 3+ and X820 hard drive adapter made for it.

My goal is to have a low power server for my home network. I'm buying this case and an X820 card so I can install a 2TB drive. All this is very well combined. I'm considering adding an internal UPS card that provides battery power to help with power outages, but it doesn't match these other components in the case. What's missing is the ability to route the GPIO cable out of the case. I think there is a newer version of this case but that is not a problem for my application. I almost got…

Pros
  • High quality metal material with zinc plated finish;
Cons
  • Set low

Doesn't really work for Pi 3 plus

I bought a geekworm case and HD board for my Raspberry Pi 3 plus with the intention of running the Pi with an SSD instead of an SD card. Of the two products I found, this seemed to be the best since I already had the HD. After receiving the details, I assembled the system and downloaded NOOBS to choose from multiple operating systems. This review is just in case as the board can be used separately. The case is made of high quality metal with many ventilation holes on the sides and bottom. A…

Pros
  • Case Size (Install): 11.3cm x 9.1cm x 6.2cm / 4.45in x 3.58in x 2.44in; Note: max compatible thickness of 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD is 10.4mm/0.41" (standard 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD is 9.2mm/0, 36 inches).
Cons
  • Reliability

Used as Plex media server

I got this to host my music and tv shows from home. I didn't expect the Raspberry Pi to be able to do the job for a TV show, but on a wireless network it does it perfectly! Instead, I used an RC car fan to place the fans on ball bearings inside the case. Integy 30mm fans, 7-8mm thick fans to be precise. They sit on the 3.3V rail as they can be very noisy at 5V. I also have a Kintaro heatsink to keep things cool (never seen 50 degrees Celsius). This thing sits on the wifi with a pre-made noob…

Pros
  • This is a metal case with a set of ultra-quiet fans for X820 V3.0 SSD/HDD memory card users, very easy to install, perfectly compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+/3B/2B/B+/Rock64 . X820 V3.0 board and X735 board, but not suitable for X720 board.
Cons
  • Makes me angry
