Raspberry Pi 4 Aluminum NAS Case with ICE Tower Cooler and M.2 SATA SSD Adapter Board,Raspberry Pi 4 Passive Aluminum Case with 40mm Ultra-Quiet PWM Fan for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB 4GB 8GB

This is quite simple to build with the included instructions, that go through the process clearly with detailed pictures.Once built the system does stay nice and cool and and looks pretty sleek.My only gripe and it's not that much of a problem is that you cannot turn off the RGB on the fan, or at least I couldnt seem to work out how to.I think I will, just replace the fan at some point. Other than that, it really is a very good setup. The materials used are high grade, in particular the heatsink and heatpipe are very nice and effective.5 Stars even though the rgb rotating 24/7 annoys the crap out of me!

I like this. It's well built and easy to assemble. You soon have a decent mini-PC with cooling and HDD once set up (It doesnt come with the M.2 drive but they are cheap as chips these days.

The case and fan are fantastic, well built and goes together easy. However if you need to remove the Pi you'll find yourself having to remove the adhesive strips at the bottom, worth nothing

This is a nice case which takes a while to assemble but follow the instructions and watch a YouTube video and you won't go far wrong.The fan is very good and keeps the PI pretty cool. I overclock my Pi to 2ghz and it doesn't go much above 55c while watching YouTube video etc. Also the fan is fairly quiet while in full cooling mode but it's worth looking at the Amazon page which also documents a quiet cooling mode. This uses the 3v GPIO pin rather than the 5v GPIO pin. The quiet is mode is as it says quiet and temps don't get much higher while just doing standard office apps or web browsing. Well worth looking at if you want a quiet fan.The fitting for the M2 drive is straight forward and again works well. I use PINN on the M2 and have 3 Operating systems installed on the drive. If you insert a Micro SD card this normally overrides the M2 while booting up so no need to unplug the M2 if you want to boot from the Micro SD.Right onto my problems!Firstly the with the case on the micro HDMI socket are quite recessed and depending on the micro HDMI cable you have may not connect properly. This happened to me and I purchased the official Raspberry Pi 4 cable and that worked well. Something to be aware of.My other problem and this is a big one for me is if you use WIFI. Where my PI is located the signal is 3 bars out of 4. When the case is fitted I was getting no signal and occasionally one bar. I'll probably look into buying a USB WIFI adapter and trying that out. At the moment I run My PI with the aluminium part of the case off (See photo) and all works well. I feel there should be a warning about the drop in WIFI within the product description. How about a plastic rather than aluminium case option?Overall if you use ethernet or have strong WIFI then this is a 5 star case but due to the issues above I will give it 3. The fan and M2 adapter are amazing.

Very happy with this case. Feels very sturdy. The fan works well. I regret buying an RGB one but that is just personal preference. Overall very happy with my purchase.

I ran significant tests, and compared it with the speed of a SanDisk Extream Pro. And the results were ridiculously faster.I now have this as an image server to my website. The web host only gives me 10gb for the whole site. But now I've offloaded the bulk to this, and it's incredibly convenient.... I love it.

The assembly was very simple. The parts are well made and accurate.I installed the Raspberry PI4b easily and added an SSD card. I didn't see that it needed a narrow SSD card and I eventually got one to fit.The downsides:-- The micro HDMI lead would not go all the way home and it took quite a while thinking I had a bad lead till I realised that the aluminium case was preventing the lead from fully connecting. I drilled and filed the holes out in the case to get the lead to fully fit.- The WIFI keeps dropping out and I suspect it is because it is in an aluminium case.- The fan whines a bit and I found that the noise is entirely due to the acrylic vent cover on top of the unit. When I removed it the fan made no noise- It would be helpful if the data sheet showed how to control the fan speed from the RPI.
