“Good case, I like the aluminium (not a fan of plastic). My only niggle (and the reason its 4 not 5 out of 5) is that the description is not quite clear enough: it contains a big aluminium chunk that makes contact with the CPU (passive heatsink), meaning an internal fan cannot be used. The description does make it clear that the GPIO pins are not accessible, but not the fan. A better design would be to have this as a seperate removable contact/heatsink. So, I had to drill around this and cut it out - fortunately the outser case covers up the hole. My fault - should have looked more carefully at the photos.”
“A very nice case but seriously flawed. The on off button spigot of the case pushes the board out of alignment from the dcre sockets of the case
. The result is the case cannot be closed with board fitted.”
“Having receiver a Raspberry Pi 5 as a Christmas present I was anxious to set it up to run Home Assistant. Once operational my thought turned to purchasing a case for it. I settled on the FLIRC case. I cannot fault it, it is well made and looks good, and being metal its heat dissipation is good. Not the cheapest case on the market but well worth the £14.00 ticket price.”
“Decent case. Assembly was a bit of a pain, on my first attempt I found the base did not lay flat against a table surface but that was resolved after another attempt.”
