Generally I like it. My main problem is overheating, which seems odd as several people have commented how cool it remains during "tests". Looking at it with a thermal camera the hot spots are not the Fan/CPU (and they are only 60C or so) ...so I'd guess there's a poor thermal connection to CPU (I've checked it multiple times) . The other issue is the lack of any route out for cables when you plug stuff into the GPIO pins.

I like the metal case, as I will be using this outdoors to control an automated telescope, where there may be some dew settling on it as the night progresses. I am using StellarMate OS for RPi. Also, I like how the NVME hat is built into the case. The main issue I had was getting the connecting strip actually connected between the RPI 5 PCI output and the PCI input for the integrated NVME board. This took way to much fiddling. I am sure others are more experienced with this, but this was a pain. After installation, the RPI 5 and NVME card worked as expected! No issues.

Great little case for the 5. Slightly fiddly getting cable for the nvme set up. Overall a lovely case and very neat. Recommended

Neat, tidy and everything fits perfectly. The instructions could be a little clearer in places but it's not rocket science.

Nice quality case for rPi5 and NVMe SSD with integrated cooling. Easy to assemble just be a bit careful with the fan wire routing to ensure things dont get trapped.

Case does not provide adequet cooling, even with the PI having active cooler. SSD would time out, and PI would crash. I regret purchasing this. One more thing the screws are the wrong size. I bought another product and I am very happy.
