This Case Turns Your Raspberry Pi 4 Into A Pretty Cool Mini Desktop PC!

[@veenus745]

That's actually really cute haha. Wouldn't get it for myself right now but I would've absolutely loved this as a kid

[@LazyBunnyKiera]

I'm with you ETAPrime, move the usb ports to the back, use a microSD ribbon to put the microSD on the back/bottom, line the side vent holes up better with the fan, and maybe use a little bit of clear acrylic ducting to duct air directly into the fan from the outside. I'm ok with not screwing in the front LCD, but they should make it so it clips in. OR have a single thumb screw to hold it in place.

[@adriantarver2229]

Ya know, for people on a really low budget this Christmas, this could be a great Christmas present for the kids that want a computer.

[@Rab1dGAMER]

That case looks suspiciously a lot like the one designed by the KZbinr Michael Klements Edit: It's slightly different mainly because it's shorter because it's not made to accommodate a battery backup and the OLED panel housing is different, but still looks very similar even to the cut outs on the acrylic panels

[@anicetomaldonado]

This is the first Klement's case with a different placement for the oled. Michael even talks about how it was ripped off from him in one of his videos

[@Rab1dGAMER]

@@anicetomaldonado I seemed to have missed those, but yeah, kinda scummy thing to do.

[@Bob_Smith19]

Imagine that, a Chinese company ripping off someone’s IP…

[@Rab1dGAMER]

@@Bob_Smith19 Still doesn't make it right, especially since the creator made all the files available for free to make it or have someone else make it for you.

[@rodmunch69]

It also looks like every other case ever made. Get over yourself.

Yeah this does look awesome ! 🤗

[@mintybudgie]

hi

[@feniX0nE27]

ETA, thanks for always pushing out great content and showing the versatility of the Raspberry Pi!

[@naikjoy]

with some ducting so it doesn't recirculate hot air.. you could drop another 5°C.

That tiny cpu heatsink is absolutely adorable lmao

[@lesterpineda]

I really love that case. I'm wondering if anyone knows what keyboard is that? Where can I get one?

[@Sithhy]

The case looks like it was taken directly from Michael Klements on KZbin

[@r.Ry4N.05]

Exactly what I was thinking. Coincidentally I was watching his video of an updated design with SSD.

finally something creative lol, would love to see different variations

[@demijebus6831]

Very cool. I agree with you that it would have been nice to have it been injection molded. I also would like to see a model big enough to run extension to the power and hdmi to the back to give it a more mini PC replica look.

[@rodmunch69]

Resin 3D printed would have looked perfect, like a real finished product.

[@poisonouslead85]

Or CF-HTPLA. You can't see the layer lines if the machine is dialed in well enough.

[@rodmunch69]

@@poisonouslead85 resin printers give amazing results, what you print looks like it was done professionally if your model is any good. Only downside is the clean-up involved, which actually isn't even that huge of an issue anymore since you can get resin that only requires a water rinse. It's literally night and day with PLA if you're trying to do anything professional looking - but resin isn't as durable and if you print items with hallow interiors, and they don't drain completely, they'll literally explode at a random date in the future.

[@neildarlow]

This looks like a remix of the cases presented by Michael Klements. He's done a number of these with various functionalities.

[@PatrickC139]

That is the coolest Pi case .

[@StonerGamingParadise]

Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

[@jacymark661]

That's pretty cool, but I would love it if Argon One did something like this with properly placed ports to the rear and an SSD

NuPhy Air 75 to be more precise. Beautiful keyboard with excellent connectivity options. However the keycaps are not shine-through... but they look nice. Also shipping is hella expensive to EU.

[@Pyrochase]

[@mumblesspeedtalker5526]

I'd love to have this for my raspberry pi 4 I'd have my friend come over you want to see my rig and show them the raspberry instead of my main tower.

[@34freesmooth]

Now that’s funny! Bro look at my gaming pc I can play all the triple A titles on it 😂😂😂

[@Charsept]

That's freakin adorable.

[@bradchenoweth7584]

Looks really neat. A card scraper, maybe a little wood filler, and some sanding followed by primer and paint and you'd never know that it was 3d printed. I've been thinking about repurposing my Pi4 that I got to control my 3d printer since I haven't used it to do so yet and I'm not even close to ready to do it. I've got an ice tower and I've been trying to think of a neat way to use it. I get sick of surfing the internet on my phone and I was thinking about integrating it into the coffee table, possibly making a tablet out of it, or doing something along those lines so when the TV is in use I have a means to entertain myself.

[@dergoldaffe7692]

From a another yt I build a simular one but I dont have the side panels... where did you get yours ?

[@nionut]

Grate idea, putting lcd that load the cpu to show the cpu load. RPI is slow as funk

[@Mojomanultra]

Nice nuphy keyboard 👀

[@ThirdEyeGoat369]

Awesome case! Agree, it should have screw holes for that OLED display. Also, think it would be better if the Raspberry Pi ports were in the back and not the front like it is.

[@valdimer11]

So can you get the OLED screen up and running using Ubuntu pi?

[@jmr]

I would have liked to see a safe shutdown button. You could add that yourself.

[@sovereignlivingsoul]

I'm working on a few designs for cases for the Raspberry Pi, I think I have seen the designers original videos, nice looking case.I do however prefer the dual fan HAT

Hey ETA Prime, Wich one is your favorite between the argon V2 and this one?

[@mattivirta]

i fight my argon case to trash, not good, after ice tower run lot more cool than whit shit argon case. argon my game settup has normal 60-80 C hot but ice tower cooler have now max only 40-55 C hard games same than before but lot coolest no heat.

[@sirdee9607]

Great Video Thx

[@rexdepita]

Super cute 😳

[@34freesmooth]

Question? If you put a game image micro SD in this case will it still retain the pi info stats on the oled while your gaming?

[@AaronBond007]

Hello ETAPrime, Thanks for the video... I just ordered the GeeeekPi from 52Pi which is similar to the one you show (looks 3D printed and you have to glue the OLED in apparently), but slightly different look. It also incorporates a mount to allow an SSD to be install under the Pi. I notice that this one as well as yours included to OLED displays... any reason why there are two? Not that I'm complaining, can always use a second... Depending on how I like the case, I may print my own and add screw holes or a clip of some sort.... Thanks again!

[@philcooper9225]

Hmm ... Okay NOW I want a raspberry pi lol

[@saberebr1348]

Looks good but I always prefer those ryzen mini PCs you reviewed before.

[@Deltax5]

I bought a raspberry pi 3b long ago. Only cuz i had spare 80 bucks and sd card. I ended up tinkering with it. Retropi made it worth wile. I pretty much put FBN and some psx tittles on there. Does the job. I like retropi interface and how i can get to the game with pictures and all info very quickly. It's just a pain getting that stuff on there. File transfer over network was slow. USB transfer is option should of done that. Would of been better if I could just drag and drop wile sd card in the computer then move it over so it's ready. Meh using someone else's image is a option. Id tinker with your own first to see what can do. Then scrap it and use someone else's if it's not up to tear or you don't have enough time. Then edit there's a bit to your liking, most likely it's ok. I hope the next one can do up to gamecube or wii. Raspberry pi is really to show what that arm chip has to offer. Glad it doesn't require a dumb fan. hope it stays like that. Efficiency is key. They still put fans on them thou for overclock and efficiency. Ill figure something out when i have time. I just want emulation stuff easy access on another device then my legit gaming rig.

[@fzth-t7s]

I/O belongs on the back, also the missing I/O shield makes it look cheap, especially the gap around the ethernet port. Front should have a power button. Great nidea tho.

[@Dumshine]

Completely unrelated to the topic of the video, but what keyboard are you using?

[@ghost_of_m403]

I have seen a few variations of this case on other channels. Do you know if the project files are public for us to 3D print these ourselves? Or do we just have to kind of recreate them?

[@PiMania]

This neat little Case is also available with an internal UPS attachment. (Both cases in my AUS store shortly)

[@titus9895]

[@PiMania]

@@titus9895 Yes. As soon as shipping from the China warehouse they are stocked in resumes.

Isnt it cheaper as a whole being 3D Printed? Probably one of the points behind it, aside from being easy to mass produce i would think..

Why not drill some holes for your own screw mounts ? Then make a small metal frame to fit on it.

[@lower2688]

I love your vids

[@ianhill20101]

I think you should do a direct die liquid metal mod, need a small copper heatsink

[@ianhill20101]

You get loads of traffic you take it to 2.5ghz no matter the challege involved.

[@ianhill20101]

Got an idea, do it yourself watch this space the boards are made 10 miles from me so its fitting i do the mods.

[@perdomot]

Cute idea but with all the mini PCs running Celeron CPUs for under $200, I just can't imagine a use for this.

[@Bob_Smith19]

A Pi4 is still a lot cheaper. But not nearly as powerful. It’s a case of you get what you pay for.

[@shailasalunkhe6657]

Can we use Windows 10 with oled display

[@anicetomaldonado]

About time. I like this kit Uhm, you are actually using one of the wrong acrylic side panels. They include 4 sides, so you can mount a Pi 3 or the Pi 4. (As you assembled the case with the Pi 3 I/O panel on the gpio side.) A further clarification might be needed for those viewers who aren't familiar with this Klement case. This kit will work for both Pi3 and Pi4.

[@budiisnadi]

My left brain wants this so much, but my right brain said it's a waste of money.

[@rhess10]

I prefer something smaller with cooling like the argon-one. The OLED is neat but it's not enough to really sell it for me.

[@heartsutra3326]

I need more Pi cases with hard drive bays. :(

[@dheaddy]

Dude, what keyboard is that?

[@GameplayCrush]

It keeps all the ports on the front and side, no breakout board, and no regulated cooling, with stuff like the Argon One out there, this is really not a great option. And apparently they just stole the entire thing from a youtuber, with zero compensation. Probably not the sort of company you'd want to endorse.
