I bought 2x cluster cases to fit together to house 4 raspberry Pis (2x recently acquired Pi 4s and 2x older Pi3bs) running various projects (Plex Media, PiHole, Nagios and a dev server). Always liked the idea of having these all mounted together rather than in different cases and this doesn't disappoint. My only negative comments would be out of the 16 screws that came for mounting the fans, 3 had dodgy threads so were unusable but that hasn't really presented a problem. The fans aren't silent but are extremely quiet. Would recommend and will be getting some more when i get additional Pi's.

It's a really nice cluster case. Easy to assemble only takes a few minutes. Only problem I had was one of the big standoffs came squished so couldnt be used.

Bought two of these to establish my server rack :) The fans are very quiet and the instructions easy enough to follow. The kits I got had the pi mounting holes in all the layers, so the top is the same as the ones holding the Pis, but I don't see this as an issue.

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.
