> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourI fell in love at first sight. I had a PI 4 in a fancy case, but which had no fan, so I was worried about it. I think this is one of the nicest cases Ive ever seen, just begging for further upgrades and mode.

> 24 hourAlthough I can hear the fan, Im not going to down rate the score for that. I have considered connecting the fan to 3.3V just to try that, The lights on the side constantly change and I like that. It makes my Raspberry Pi 4 look like a little tower case computer. I eventually intend to have it sitting on top of my full server - as a contrast and for entertainment. Assembly was reasonable. I wish they had one of these for the Raspberry Pi 3B form factor.

> 24 hourThis 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

> 24 hourThis works perfectly with the low mount ICE cooler to overclock a Pi 4 to 2.2 GHz.

> 24 hourI 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

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourIm 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.

> 24 hourMy Apologies, I previously stated that the ElectricCookie did not fit a Raspberry Pi4. I was grossly mistaken. The Pi I was testing was a Raspberry 3B. Once again my apologies.
