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

This could be is a nice little case, I just wish the MGR paid more attention to the fit. As you can see in the photo on 2 screws can be used because the slots where the screws engage the frame are too big. The other side was the same and one of the screws is just catching treads. I dont know how long this will last with only one secure screw.

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

Overall, impressed. The fan was a bit nosier than I thought it would be. The GPIO pins needed an extender for my hats and bonnets.. The adjustment for the leds could be offset more to the left, so you can get at it when you have a hat. One more thing, in this case Im constantly showing a CPU temp that is 10-15c lower than with my old case. Maybe 15c higher than room temp instead of 30c, so pretty good!

I bought a couple of other cheapos before spending the extra little bit on this case, and I was extremely disappointed in the other cases. Most of the other cases use the most basic version of 3D printing that exists to date and they are pain in the butt to put together if youre ever going to have to take it apart and add something to the rPi. This is the most simple version of a case with outstanding quality, and you put it together like an extremely basic computer tower. This also looks a whole lot more impressive to people who know nothing about the inherent power of an rPi, where you can basically have a fully functional computer in the palm of your hand but for much cheaper then a decent cell phone.

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.

I do really like the case and it fits my Ice Tower Cooler great. I was however a bit disappointed in the little plastic screws that hold the plexi on the sides. They do not hold well at all, <sarcasm>you would think a tiny plastic screw that barely grabs into a metal housing would work great</sarcasm>, the longer black screws work much better but they do not include enough of them to get the job done. In the end the case is ok, if you dont mind missing a few screws(purely aesthetics though)

I like this case! The lights are a little gaudy (pic1), but luckily you can turn them off (pic2). You can even reach the Micro-SD card without removing the sides or even the whole Raspberry Pi 4 (pic3). The ICE Tower low profile actually fits in this case, although I had to leave off the back fan. (pics 4-5) A couple of tips. Do not put the ICE tower low profile fan on first, or youll just have to take it off like I did. You have to look at all the stand-off sizes, screws, and nuts to figure out how it all fits together. Also dont tighten down the stand-offs and screws before putting the GPIO pins board on, and make sure the ICE fan is plugged in the reverse order. (Shows you in the instructions) Its about 10 degrees hotter then not in a case at all, but since the ICE fan keeps it at 40 degrees without the case on stress tests, the extra 10 degrees doesnt distract from this wonderful case and not having the Raspberry Pi 4 nekkid sitting around and biting me every time I move it without turning the fan off. Oh thats overclocked also. a regular non-overclocked Raspberry Pi, the ICE tower is overkill. the fan on this case and the heat sink should keep it plenty cool. Ken

Im writing this using the Pi I installed in this case. I bought this because it had a large heat sink. That proved to be a good thing, once I got it working. It runs cool enough, the fan is quiet although it would have been nice to have a temperature-controlled fan. The connectors are super-accessible, but Im a bit nervous about the power, HDMI, and audio connectors. Until I can get a KVM switch, I will have to connect and disconnect at least the audio plug. The back connectors and the SD slot are nicely done. One final problem; at least 2 of the screw holes for the acrylic side panels are stripped, and I didnt apply a lot of torque to the screwdriver. Still, its the best Pi case Ive used, and I highly recommend it.

Nice case that keeps the overclocked Pi nice and cool. But after a couple of weeks the fan starts to get noisy.

This case is pretty cool, it’s the only case I could find that can actually fit the ice tower cooler!, the rgb panel and fan work good too!.
