Great little RPi4b case. Intergrated fan, power button, solid aluminium top as a passive heatsink (thermal pads supplied), all ports on the rear for a tidy appearance, GPIO pins accessible via removable cover on top. Note the M.2 base is for SATA M.2 drives (you can separately purchase an NVMe base and the same top part of the case). Argon supply a bash script to run which downloads the software for Raspbian to set a rudimentary fan curve, and control the action of the power button (shutdown, soft and hard reset depending of length of press). Under normal operation the fan isn't running so totally silent. I used to use a FLIRC case, a separate external USB SATA enclosure and had a HDMI dummy plug connected via a mini to full HDMI adapter. That spaghetti has now been replaced by quite a tidy solution. Very pleased with the aesthetics and functionality of the case, and it's a reasonable price for what you get.

Good well made case and everything fits without any issues. Recommended.

Apart from the IR functionality, it looks great. It does the job properly with the passive cooling - the fan will turn on only if a fixed temperature has been reached. It is a big plus to be able to access the I/O pins without any messing about - the 'map' is printed under the cover for the pins.

Superb unit, really works well to wick away the heat. If there was 'one' change I would make, I would ask for a DUAL M.2 unit, as my particular use case needs two SATA drives. Perhaps one day....

Love the case so far, easy to build and it really keeps the rpi4b cool.

Very neat and easy to build, worked first time. I did have an issue with the official software and am now using a third party equivalent (this could be down to my choice of OS). I'm also having an issue with fan control, but for a 4Gb Pi in the UK it looks to be usable without needing to use the fan. (which makes it silent - which is good)

Great cases, couldn't ask for more

A case where you don't need a heat sink because the case is the heat sink. My Pi 4 is over locked but the case fan has yet to cut in at 55C. I also like the multiple use power switch. No more unplugging the Pi from the power supply.
