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.

This case was not the easiest to put together but I got there in the end. The quality is very good. However, the fan is so. damn. loud. It keeps my Rpi4 at 40C when running a headless Docker environment and 5 containers on Raspbian. For the price, it's good but not good enough for 5 stars (because the fan is too loud).

Easy assembly. Good, solid materials. Great cooling, can use Pi4 constantly for hours. Didn't give 5* because of noise of fan.

I like the idea but the pictures made it seem like there would be metal stand-offs but they are plastic and you can easily over turn the screws in them.
