VESA Mount Adapter for Raspberry Pi Wall Mount Case (RAS-VE03)

These GPIO 1 to 2 Expansion Boards (RAS-GP02) are useful when you're stacking components, and ending the stack with a HAT that has no pins. Or maybe you just can't get access to them from the top of your stack.The only issue is that they ship with the pins totally unprotected. So you have to play the "pin lottery" and hope none get bent on the journey. I recommend including these with other bulky but soft items like clothes, so they'll all ship in one box. You don't want a mere padded envelope or mailer.

My original item had 8 acrylic top pieces instead of 4 tops and 4 bottoms, and unfortunately I had waited 3 months to open it so I could not exchange it via Amazon. I contacted Micro Connectors customer support and they immediately shipped out a brand new one, which I received two days later, and which was perfect (and even had newer Raspberry Pi 4 heatsinks included).The case was easy to set up, building layer by layer, and the included fans directly connect to the Pi's +5V and GND connections. The spacers and screws are all good quality and fit together perfectly. The acrylic has paper or plastic protectors to prevent their becoming scratched in transit.Unfortunately, because I am using LoverPi PoE (Power over Ethernet) Hats for my Pis, the fans in their suggested configurations (hanging under the top pieces) do not fit. I instead installed the fans above the tops, which was possible since there are separate top and bottom pieces separated by enough space to fit the fans with airflow. This would not be possible in most other 4-Pi acrylic cases, since they use only one piece for the top and bottom in the middle layers. I also had to use a pull configuration for the fans rather than push, since the fans are so thin that they were rubbing against the acrylic in the push configuration. You could probably get it to work in a push setup with some spacers on the fans.Even with this less than ideal fan setup, my Pi 4s only reach about 70C running cpuburn, so no throttling occurs, and there are no issues with the PoE hats overheating. The top Pi runs significantly cooler (10C+ less) because the fan airflow is unrestricted.You can see my final setup picture, connected to a TP-Link PoE switch. The case looks great and is very functional.

Super loud buzzing noise. Doesn't seem to be any way to control the fan speed without making that a project of its own.The case itself is nice, but the fan...UPDATE: So I was looking online and really didn't want to deal with extra parts and a python script as I want it as light as possible. Thankfully I saw another users similar complaint about the fan being too loud, and they posted an image of how to use the fan on the 3.3v rail instead of the 5v one and it's so much better. Now it's not audible but the temperature is barely any higher than it was (maybe a 2-5c difference at most).Originally 3 stars, updated to 4 for the ability. Would have been 5 if they could have included alternatives for where to install the fan. Again, this is only in regards to the fan - the case itself is great. It is actually cool to the touch at 5v with the fan even after hours of a server running. Before I got the case my Pi would have highs of 60c. The case with 3.3v fan brings it down to an average of 47c.Tl;dr, great case, loud fan that's fine on a 3.3v rail.

I have a pair of Raspberry Pi 4Bs that are essentially "towers" of SATA boards, USB hub boards, power boards, mult-function boards, GPIO pin replicator boards, and other "hats", all separated and stacked with M2.5 stand-offs. This creates a "tower" several inches tall... tall enough that rather than having to stand up to then look down upon and read a GPIO-mounted OLED display, I wanted to just look at the stacks and be able to see what the displays were telling me.I ordered 2 of these 40-pin right-angle GPIO expanders and could not be more delighted. My OLED displays mount directly to these without issue, they don't move once installed, I retain top-mounted GPIO pins for future add-ons, and the displays I mounted on them are perfectly readable from a seated position in my chair.These are great little additions fo anyone who makes use of the 40-pin GPIO header on their Raspberry Pi.

The Pitch: I was building a Raspberry Pi-based media console with plans to affix it to the back of my TV. I was concerned about radiant heat from the TV so I wanted an active cooling case for the Pi.The Package: This little case and its accoutrements (stick-on heat syncs, rubber feet, etc.) came in a tidy little cardboard box. Great minimalist and easy to open packaging.The Fit: This guy is tailor-made for the Pi 3A+ and the fit and finish are perfect. I ordered the black model and it is covered in a pleasant matte black powder coat. This case with the Pi 3 installed is an attractive package that wouldn’t look out of place in a home entertainment console.The only minor gripe I have is that it is easy for the power cables to the fan to get situated near said fan, causing an annoying “tick tick tick” sound. It can take a little jiggling of the bottom of the case as you slide the lid on to get the wires positioned away from the fan to prevent this.The Good: Small, inexpensive active cooling at a great priceThe Bad: It’s annoying to fight with the fan power wires when putting the lid on the case.The Ugly: Nothin. This is a nice case.The Bottom Line: My Pi 3 is affixed to the back of my TV safely enclosed in this attractive, functional case. I would definitely buy this case again.

The item I received was defective. To return I have to pay postage, which is almost as much. A lot of hassle for not a lot. That is after it has affected my labs with bad results.

Lo compré más que nada por la fuente de poder, la cual funciona muy bien, el case es muy bonito y que sea de alumino le da un buen toque y es muy resistente, protegerá muy bien tu raspberry, además se puede montar en la pared, le doy 4 estrellas por qué con el case, la conexión de la fuente queda algo floja y se desconecta muy fácilmente, a veces con solo moverlo un poco, además, si quieres usar los GPIO, no vas a poder hacerlo con el case cerrado, pero fuera de eso, todo muy bien

Se incluye el manual, ventilador, disipadores y hasta un desarmador. El protector tiene un aspecto solido y elegante, le queda muy bien. Pero por alguna razón al conectar el ventilador, el raspberry simplemente no arranca. Yo lo uso sin el ventilador y asi si funciona. E incluso me asegure varias veces de que estuviera bien conectado segun el manual, y uso el cargador oficial, pero no. Le doy una estrella porque tiene buen aspecto y por que trae 3 disipadores.

Me gustó mucho la carcasa, el ventilador que trae es para extraer aire, no para inyectarle. Lo único malo que tiene es que el cable micro hdmi no entra bien porque topa con el plástico del cable y tengo que estarlo metiendo muy a fuerza porque la pantalla no detecta la señal, creo que tendré que agrandar esa hoyo para el micro hdmi. Aparte de eso todo me parece muy bien, queda muy compacta la raspberry pi 4 y sí le ayuda a mantenerse a buena temperatura.

Compre este case porque el que tenía con mi Pi ya estaba roto, el case en cuestión esta muy bien hecho, la Pi se ajusta perfectamente, el ensamblado es rápido y sencillo siguiendo las instrucciones. El adaptador de corriente funciona muy bien y tiene la ventaja de un botón de encendido y apagado.
