“Excellent case. Easier to get working than the Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVME Raspberry Pi 5 Case. I actually prefer the NEO because it's smaller and I don't need the full-size HDI ports and GPIO availability for my current use-case. Less to go wrong with the NEO!”
“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.”
