“This is a really good case. Very easy to set up and the full size HDMI ports are a blessing, no more hunting for adapters. Having all the ports at the back is easier and the on/off button works well. I thought at first that using the GPIO extender might entail some handiwork but it fitted with room to spare. Downloading and running the fan and switch software was no problem and the Pi has rarely gone over 49oC although I have yet to stress test it. Fitting a 250GB SATA SD again was no problem but the Pi didn’t seem to recognize it (may have been me not knowing what to do)I could see it listed using lsblk but that was all. I took the drive out and fitted it to a PC to mount and format it, put it back in the Pi and all was well. I downloaded Raspberry Pi Imager to set the drive up with Raspberry Pi OS and that was it. The speed difference is very noticeable. I now have the Pi setup as I want it and made a backup onto a 16GB sd card using the Pi’s SD Card Copier (this does require patience). I cannot recommend this case enough. I would have included pictures but could not see how.”

“Argon M.2 case purchased to upgrade from a Argon One, Both Case's excellent value / quality etc. For me - M.2 case as it had duel full size HDMI ports on the back easier to used standard leads with Monitors / TV's etc. Also the M.2 has a Pcie SSD card / Interface board in the case - I put a 240GB PCIe M2 SSD & PI os - now my Pi4 boots to a working desktop in under 30 Sec's from cold boot (IE from power on) This makes for a really fast startup & I use mine like a PC etc with Duel screen output. Hope this review helps you :)”

“I really like this case. The daughter board which converts the micro HDMI to standard HDMI is really handy, and the ability to use an M.2 drive as storage for the pi is a really nice bonus. The case is well built and fairly easy to assemble (getting the board in and the GPIO pins + Raspi IO aligned was a bit tricky). The case and fan keep the Raspi cool, and I don't think I've seen it go above 50C, even when stressed. The only complaint I might have with it is that all of the IO is on the back, so something like a 3.5mm male to female extension may be useful, as may a USB hub if you plan to use it as a desktop, but honestly these are minor.”

“Excellent cabinet! Solid and well built, logical solutions, and better HDMI ports. Good software to control fan. Very pleased. Only minor drawback is that one have to open to insert or remove SD card, but for this buyer it is not a show stopper. Have moved all booting to USB SSD device. Perfect for my use, and can be recommended.”

“Excellent case, the internal SSD makes for a complete compact all in one solution. On/off switch and built-in fan (not that I hear it very often) are icing on the cake.”
