“This FLIRC case was needed by me due to the overheating problems of the original red and white plastic one. The overheating was caused by running videos which is one of the main uses.
The FLIRC case was very easy to install and looks rather stylish as well.
I'm very happy with it.”
“If you are using the PI as a mini computer connecting via the main ports USB, Ethernet, HDMI etc. then this is a nice case. the sides and top are solid metal (though the top has a removable clip-on plastic cover). This metal makes direct contact with the Pi CPU (via a thermal pad) and so it all runs warm but not hot to the touch with CPU temp well controlled. Note: the base is plastic.
Main downside is no access to the expansion header or camera, so if you want to use these, you need a different solution.
So happy, I now have 3 of these now, 2 permanently in use and the 3rd is my test unit.”
“It looks really cool and it controls the temperature great. Super easy to install, the delivery was great... what else can I say? I already ordered a few more things!”
