“I love the simple look and function. The fan is quiet and Pi 4 runs nice and cool, and unlike another case I have, WiFi is not shielded by a metal heat shield.”

“I got two of these to house 4xPis I bought as part of a Kubernetes cluster project I wanted to construct. the cases are really solidly constructed and look really good on the desk. The instruction guide is brilliant, easy to follow - the photos really help; pictures and 1000 words all all that. I had the cluster case fully assembled in less than half an hour, the open nature of the case also seems to help to keep the Pis nice and cool as well which is a bonus.”

“Easy to construct using the instructions and makes a very sturdy stack.”

“Bought 2 so I can build a 4-node cluster. Looks great when assembled. However one slight issue. The film on the acrylic layers would not peel off smoothly. I had to spray the corners with WD40 and leave for several minutes. Fine after that.”

“A really nice packaged case with all the screws bagged up. This case is currently being used as a two node cluster, but in time more will be added. I was able to find the instructions online from the main board description and really, the only thing it was needed for was to work out the layout of the fans and to make sure they could reach the connector. It took me longer to take the protective sheets off than to build the entire case. A nice touch would be a small screwdriver included in the package just to speed things up.”

“Easy to assemble, my setup is 3 pi cluster. 1 for desktop, 1 file server with ovh, and 1 development system. All connected to a 5 port gigabit switch and powered by a multi-port psu from Amazon. One reservation is that fans don’t come with any sort of lock washers. Also, obviously, if you add a HAT, the fan will either not fit or not be effective. In all, a great way to support multiple Pi setup.”

“Nice clean design, I thought of putting on it's side when I read that the pi4 runs cooler that way, but the fans do the job, so it is not necessary. Maybe when I have a full cluster it may still be beneficial, we will see. I did have a small problem with a few bits missing, but they were sent out promptly. Very happy.”

“Actually used as a tall case for a NanoPi Neo Core2 with mini Shield board - used the top & bottom layers and most of the other connectors to make it double height so there was room for fan as well as heatsink. Works great, thanks!”
