“Nice and pretty case. After mounting RP4 I noticed that CPU in passive cooling is much better then it was before.
Very comfortable to use the turning on button. Man can configure it to turn off as well with a script.
Unfortunately the case fan works not so good. If fan spins on a full speed so I hear some disturbance on it, as it stopping for some ms. It is very annoying.
I don't like that fan have permanent connections on GPIO and I can't move it to other pins. I use RP4 for home automation and I suspect that fan can have disturbace because Zigbee module is configured on same GPIOs.
If I had not fan problems I could recommend the case.”
“Excellent case for Raspberry Pi 4 offering far better protection and heat dissipation, not to kentioned aesthetics, than the RP kit case. Ordering and delivery from The PiHut was both effortless and extremely rapid.
Very happy!”
“Solid and reliable, we love this case and have settled on it being our go-to case.
The plastic is well moulded and not flimsy or cheap - it looks the part and you'd never know it was a Raspberry Pi at initial glance.
The case can be set to auto-power on when power is connected or wait until the power button is pressed. My only criticism - if it's set to auto-power on, the power button does not permit any action. You'd think it could be used to interrupt the power to effectively be like a restart, but since it's always-on power, the power button is just a lit-up LED and you still have to yank the USB out to reboot it.”
“This case is perfect - many Raspberry Pi cases just make it extremely obvious it's a Raspberry Pi, and offer a weak selection of wall mounting options. The DeskPi Lite however makes using a Raspberry Pi more discreet, and presentable and includes notches at the rear to mount on screws (like handing a picture). The heat sinks and fan are an excellent addition, too!
We are really impressed and actually decided to 100% move to this as our go-to enclosure going forward on our projects due to the great design.”
“A further review as my earlier negative review has not been posted on the site.
This box while nicely produced needs more work to ensure that heat conduction is appropriately efficient.
My sample will cook the CPU as indicated by the warning when checking the system temperature.
Now looking at modifying the case (which I like) to offer the levels of cooling I had when using Pibow, Argon Fan HAT and individual heatsinks.”
