“Being from an Electronics & Mechanical engineering background I can say at first sight this is a very well designed, built and laid out enclosure, very simple to assemble and setup with very simple a clear instructions even for a newb to coding like my selfs.
My initial setup is to use this as a time machine NAS using OMV, Print server using CUPS, TVHEADEND and PiVPN and it copes well with all at the same time.
Running 2 2TB NAS drives and 2 1TB drives, good thermal management keeps the drives to about 35 to 40 deg without fan assistance.”
“Amazing Case, Amazing product!
Once the instructions were consumed, I set about pulling it apart to place into its cavernous space my Raspberry Pi 4.
Following the instructions and using the provided screwdriver, putting this together was a breeze.
I already had the Raspberry Pi setup, so I just plopped the SD card into the one on the back and it booted right up.
I installed the software to control the screen and fan and it works a charm.
I have installed a coin battery to power the RTC and now it boots up and shuts down to my schedule.
All in all a fantastic device!”
“I know the RTC function isn’t for everyone however, when it’s advertised as a feature you would think that the battery omission (types CR1220 or CR1225) would be stated in the documentation & on the website.
Apart from that, nicely designed piece of kit & works well.”
“I have had one of these since last December 2021, as part of the Kickstarter’s project and it’s brilliant! Great build quality that you expect from the Argon team and just a fantastic product. You won’t be disappointed as the ultimate Pi based NAS system !”
