Casing comes as diy kit. It requires some finger dexterity. Once mounted the pi4 overheat even when idle and with a fan as the casing doesn’t have enough airflow

This is very noisy. My case had screws missing and no instructions on assembling the parts. The fan is really noisy though. The holes in the case for the plugs prevent them from seating fully. I drilled out the holes to clear the plugs, eventually I removed the side of the case and put the fan on the outside of the case. This was a little quieter. There are better cases than this available so shop around. I don’t recommend this one.

Very nice case with built in fan. A little hard to assemble with out instructions. Found the instructions on line. Could have been from the PiHut website. Don't remember. Note: Make sure you get assembly instructions/

While the case is easy to assemble I had issues with the accessories. The FAN is far too noisy to be able to work with the case on or near a desk. I had one of the fixing screws for the fan missing. Finaly I had to fix the top cover with elastics because the top screws could not grip in the nylon spacers. So I am disapointed regarding the quality of this product that does not meet my expectations. I just keep 2 stars because the acrylics panels are well done.

The case goes together well and seems fairly well made. I'm not too sure about the fan though - maybe I just got a noisy one? There are other fans available for other 'cut-down' versions Pi4 cases which are just about inaudible, but the one that came with this case certainly lets you know it's running.

One of the 11mm standoffs had a damaged thread, but more seriously the fans is far too noisy for an office environment. I want to use my Pi as a wi-fi access point.

I had wanted a jet engine in my living room this would have been OK, but as I did not the fan is completely useless as it's very very loud. It is also really basic so you can't even control it via the pins. In all a waste of money. So I am off to try and find a decent case from people who understand what quiet means.
