ElectroCookie Raspberry Pi 4 Case, Miniature Desktop Aluminum Case with Cooling Fan and Color Changing Ambient Light (Matte Black & Neon)

It takes quite a bit more assembly than the standard RPi case, but it was all done in ten minutes. It looks great, and seems substantial. I got worried when the first review for this case (which was added after I made the purchase but before I received it) was two-stars, claiming that the fan doesnt work. I dont know what that means exactly; does the fan run but it doesnt cool the CPU? Does it not run at all? Anyway, my fan works perfectly well. The case is great; its nice that it relocates the GPIO pins so that theyre accessible without opening the case, as well as clearly labeled. Theres lots of lights, but to be honest, if it was all up to me, Id probably coordinate the lights so that theres only one color. This way, theres a red light on my pi board, theres a white light in the fan, and theres blue and red lights on the GPIO relcator card; not to mention all of these lights are seen through green plexi-glass. So its a bit of a mess aesthetically in my humble opinion. Id almost rather the sides be black or tinted dark for a more clean look. Nevertheless, it works gloriously, and the fan isnt obnoxiously loud.

This case met all my expectations and then some! The aluminum body and acrylic panels definitely have a premium feel to them over cheap plasticky alternatives and not to mention the aesthetic overal is perfect. Set up wasnt too difficult either and shipping was relatively quick. Overall Im really happy about this purchase. If you are looking for a premium feeling case to feel more protected for your pi project or you just want a case that looks stunning and is almost even a conversation piece, this is the one! 10/10

... and that is the fact that the screws strip out with very little pressure due to design of the mounting holes on the case. Actually, they are not holes at all, but semicircular channels in the shape of the letter C, so that the screws only make partial contact with the channel. Worse, the screws expand the channels as they are tightened and the result is that it is impossible to tighten the screws snugly. Its a shame, because there is so much I like about the case otherwise. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the screw attachment problem negates any and all positives.

I was a bit picky when looking for a Pi4 case as I wanted to have complete access to all of the GPIO pins. I also wanted a case that had a fan to cool the heat sinks on the Pi4 since they are known to come hot. Assembly of the case was straight forward.

Fan came out damaged but everything else is working and I love it

I put a Pi with an ice tower inside the case. Everything fits well. I was surprised that the black part of the case is made out of metal. I was planning to carve a bigger hole to allow my x826 ssd attachment. I decided to mount the ssd on the bottom instead with the screws and standoffs. If you make a similar set up with dedicated x826 space on the bottom, Ill buy it in a heart beat.

Wish it was just a little taller so I could put that hat Bored in there with their parts

I have it installed and it looks great, we are going to present it at an IT Expo as an economical solution with a very good presentation.

Nice enclosure. Easy to assemble. Cute but maybe price could be lower?

Easy install and perfect fit. If I built another I’d buy it again
