Neat and tidy solution. Easy to setup, but watch the video on the PiHut product page first. The little fans are noisy, even on 3v3 let alone 5v, so I have left them off. I think one or two large slower moving fans would be better. One of the blades didn't want to securely fit in the first location I tried but did in another slot. My ethernet cables are a bit of a mess because they are a bit long and rather stiff, perhaps ribbon type would be better. So these little issues are why I gave 4 out of 5. I am happy with it and I expect to fill it up over time.

Great case, good looking and easy to assemble! Fits both Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 without issues. 10/10 would buy again.

Great case to setup my pi cluster. The bigger fans are cooling the Pi's better than with the cases I had before. Even in this heat wave the Pi's are well below 50 degrees. The slots make it easy to remove a pi and prepare it for the next project.

Works perfectly with at least 5 pi's (where I use it for). It's small enough to leverage the small physical footprint of a Pi but large enough to house all the required peripherals like a small switch and some cable management.

Can you attach 3.5" hdd drives or only 2.5? Planning to build a a plex server with more than 30 TB and SSDs are too expensive for this

Great looking case and solid construction. The included fans are quite loud when connected to the Pi's 5v pins, but acceptable when powered at 3v. Each Pi can be easily accessed and replaced without deconstructing the entire case, and easily fit my PI4s with a PoE hat attached. My only gripe, and not one to detract from giving 5 stars, is that the case is a couple mm's too narrow to fit my Netgear GS110TPv3 switch inside the bottom of the case, and while there are other switches I could use that are smaller, I wanted a managed switch with 8 PoE ports and an uplink.
