“Regarding my previous review of this case. I was completely wrong about using a larger screw to hold a 2230 NVME drive. Having looked closer I can see that the 2280 fixing point can be unscrewed and moved to the new position. Not mentioned in any of the utube reviews that I have watched.
My apologies to Argon40. My only excuse is my age!”
“The case works perfectly now the power problem was resolved. It took a few reassemblies to make the USB-C connection although the daughter board was fully inserted. However I had another problem trying to use a 2230 NVME drive. It requires a larger screw to hold it in than that used for a 2280. I used one of the screws from the heatsink/cover. Why did they make them different sizes and not supply a screw?”
“A brilliant piece of kit. Well designed, well made, easy to assemble. Running a Pi 5 with an NVMe, Pi OS and KDE Plasma (wayland) it can easily perform as a usable little desktop computer for most day to day needs. Very slick.”
“Case is quite good overall. The Pi will run relatively cool (if you don't forget to include the silicon pads).
One weird thing though, some of the screws were over-tightened when the case was initially assembled (nearly led to some damage)”
“Really great case! Easy to assemble. Just remember to have an SD card it for first boot (with a pi installation) if you intend to boot from NVME. Had me scratching my head a while! After first boot, worked great without SD and just booting from NVME”
“Have the previous version for Pi4 and was very happy with it.
This is essentially the same but made to fit the Pi5 and built in NVME memory holder on the bottom.
Bought to make a kodi box, it has full size hdmi sockets.”
