Really well made, with quality materials. Was a big improvement over the other case I was using, with lower temperatures. So much so that the fan hasn't kicked in once yet. The nvme base works flawlessly with PCI express gen3 speeds with a Lexar NM790 2TB.

This is a nice case for the raspberry pi 5 it is small and is like one heat sink. Even the cover on the bottom for the NVME is a heat sink.

The NEO 5 is an ok case, but be aware that the only output is micro HDMI which for most new raspberry pi users, they won't be familiar with or have this kind of cable. It's also worth noting that this case will come with two screws that aren't long enough on one side. This is because the Pi takes up space inbetween the screw and the thread, you will need to get longer screws and this is also what the original vendor (Argon) advises. Trying to source tiny screws can be a challenge and not having the case assembled can leave you feeling dissapointed when first setting up, particularly for new Pi users. For the extra £5/£10, the Argon ONE V3 is worth every penny. It converts the micro to full normal HDMI ports and the case assembles well first time without any issues, I ended up buying this to replace the Argon NEO 5.

Great price and a fantastic case, a must have for anyone with a PI5. The case came fast and with no issues, thank you.

Very tidy, compact case. Things to note: fiddly to connect the PCIe cable (Argon have the foresight to supply a spare!) and your NVMe drive needs to be "naked" as the Argon case acts as a heatsink.

Looks really nice, with a satisfactory heft to it. A little bit fiddly to install the nvme, but works well. Noisless fan in normal use. Only heard it kick in once, but it was under load scanning metadata for loads of films.
