“The problem with this very well made case is that, unfortunately, once the USB 3 bridge is inserted the wi-fi signal stops and cannot be connected again. Remove the USB bridge and the wi-fi comes back fine. I have tried several different Raspberry and Linux operating systems to see if that helped but to no avail. Since having this problem myself, I have looked on YouTube and other help fora and learnt that other M.2 users have the same problem. On the advice give on the Pi Hut's website, I had an exchange of emails with Argon 40. They haven't been able to come up with any solutions and I got the impression I wasn't the first buyer to raise this problem. If you are happy to be linked by an ethernet cable at all times then this would be a great buy. As I do not and the problem could not be resolved by Argon 40 I had no alternative but to return it. That is my reason for only 2 Stars. The Pi Hut have been understanding and kept in touch throughout the outing and refund process. Maurice”

“An awesome, high quality, case that will bundle up your RPI4 and keep it extremely cool! This is the third Argon ONE case I have brought from Pi Hut for Raspberry Pi 4 single board computers, we have several hard worked servers here where we have experimented with using RPI4s instead of rack mounted enterprise servers for tasks such as 3CX Voip Server (for Voice over internet telephone calls) OMV5 Servers (File servers) and even a DNS Server with PiHole (blocks webpage adds for users in our network), and of all the cases we have tried, this one is the most solid (Its aluminium) and offers the best cooling. No matter how much bandwidth and processing we throw at it, I have never seen temperatures getting above 40 degrees C on the CPU, and that includes heavy duty audio compression on the 3CX Server, where it is dealing with upto 10 calls at the same time, as well as others on hold with an automated assistant. The fan is NOT noisy, even if it was, it is controlled by the PI and turns off (most of the time it is off) and goes through several speeds depending on the actual temperature of the Pi CPU... I do not think I have ever heard it have to go above 25% speed, as the entire case acts as a heat sink. The M.2 Version we have for the 3CX Server is without SD Card, Boots off of the M.2 SSD Driver (also from Pi Hut) and is insanely fast at booting, but most importantly is a robust solution, unlike using SD cards which can be volatile. The only dissapointment I have is that Argon have discontinued the Raspberry Pi 3B Version of the ArgonOne case with fan, which is a shame because I have a finely tuned RPI3B with Octopi running on it for my 3D printer, which I would love to take out of it's plastic case, and mount in an ArgonOne! Delivery from Pi Hut is second to none, which is why we keep coming back to them time and time again.”

“This case is simply brilliant. Keeps the Pi around 20 degrees cooler, without the fan on at all. Impressed. Plus the M.2 drive makes the Pi much more stable as a workhorse computer. Now have it running all the automation, backups, and power monitoring in our house. Superb.”

“Think this is definitely the best pi case I have ever used. Awesome looks and very functional. With the added ssd capabilities. I dont think I could do without the use. The case does get quite warm but it keeps the pi and cpu at a very steady temp.”

“Fantastic case! The passive and active cooling works really well. Ability to use full size HDMI plugs and use SSDs is a godsend. I am using this to replace my Windows PC. The case is expensive but given the features and design is worth every penny. Slight drawback is instructions need to make clear a bit of force is required to hold down SSD while fitting or it pops up.”
