“Build around a beautifully intricate piece of cast aluminium into which everything fits neatly. Great port positions for a compact desktop case. Everything has been running cool, quiet, and reliable.”
“First case that arrived, would not power on when all connected together, so I did what was asked a few times on ThePiHut web site, & tried to push the internal Argone case circuit board tighter to the Pi5. Eventually after about 3 attempts at this, I put so much forced there as it was not powering up & online was saying it was a connection issue, that the 2 boards twisted in my hands (panic set in). The PiHut to the rescue, they agreed to do a Free of Charge Swap out. The second Argon I got all plugged in, with 1 attempt only at connecting the 2 circuit boards (i.e. the Pi5 to the Argon One Circuit board for External USB & Audio/Mic etc) & it all powered up. I have had it running now 24/7 for a few days, & it is a massive step up in speed compared to my old Pi400. Also the temperatures I am seeing even on hot days here are around 40 degree idle & never go over the late 40s when in use. Never heard the fan coming on except when it's first powered on for a few seconds, so its maintaining these temps on passive heat dissipation . To recap, very impressed with the case now I got it working, but more importantly, extremely impressed with ThePiHut, the service/support is second to non & I will only be going to this shop in future for my Pi purchase, & also will be making sure this company gets mentioned when I discuss Pi purchases with friends/colleagues etc.
Thank you for the great service guys.”
“Got this as a birthday present. I found it a bit of a challenge to setup (who invented the PCIe microscopic flexible cable interface interface?)
Perseverance was worth it. A quality bit of kit and the nmve interface (the whole reason for this case) is excellent. Running at about 30-ish DegC playing ripped (legally) videos”
“A great case. A bit on the chunky side e but feels well made. I didn’t gave enough screws to secure the lid, but it’s held in place with magnets and I can find the screws elsewhere if I need to. No issues with the M.2 adapter after checking everything was securely in place.”
“Very neat and easy to setup. Gives a pi5 with nvme.m2 neat protective portable casing with some opportunities for extensions and projects. I’m just using mine as a Ubuntu native flashing os.”
