“Good case for a 'set it and forget it' project as you have to remove the whole shell again to access the sd card after assembly. NVMe cable is very fiddly and I broke the flip up connector on the board because it DOESN'T flip up. Not in the tiny instructions.”
“The case works just fine. Same as the V2 case for the pi 4.
However once i installed Batocera I found out that the fan script used to run the fan in the case isn't supported in Batocera. The fan script works fine if you're using the pi 5 as a PC replacement or using retropie to emmulate games. Retrocera however will not exicute the fan script at all. I ended up having to frankenstine the fan header from the V3 board directly into the raspberry pi myself for the fan to run propperly.”
“A nicely crafted case which makes a great home for a Raspberry Pi 5. Also worked fine with a Western Digital Black 2 TB NVMe drive which wouldn't work in the Pimoroni NVMe board. The instructions need a little bit of work but it's possible to get up and running with a little ingenuity.
(You'll get warning/error messages about the power supply not being up to it even though you are using the recommended PSU. These are erroneous and happen because the Pi is getting its power through the expansion pins and not through the USB-C port. If you do your initial boot from USB then you'll need to edit config.txt before it will boot.)”
“Had a problem with the power button, the system would not start when the power button was pressed. But it would start with the permanent power on enabled. Had to contact argon about the issue. They said that this a problem with the firmware and an update is coming.”
