Aluminum Alloy Case for Raspberry Pi 4 - Compatible with DAC/DAC PRO/AMP/AMP PRO/RS485&CAN HAT, 3510 PWM Fan & Passive Heatsink Cooling for Expanded Boards

A nice, solid aluminum case, with a fan no less, at a very reasonable price. I hooked up the heatsink fan to run constantly at the low voltage/speed. It's very damn near silent. If I ever hear it, I'll just pull the jumpers off. The heat sink without the running fan strikes me as more than plenty of heat dissipation. Disclaimer, I'm using my PIs as Roon endpoints, running Ropieee. That not a super challenging load. I mounted an Innomaker Digi HAT in mine. Obviously, it fit perfectly. But it looks like you could mount pretty much anything you'd like without modifying the case. And should you need to modify the case, it's aluminum. Hack saw, file, and a bit of gray paint to make the edges match the anodizing, and you're good to go.

This case is stylish, easy to assemble, and has perfectly aligned cutouts for both the Raspberry Pi and the DAC hat. The metal finish looks great and feels high quality, giving it a premium appearance. The fan is not completely silent, but it is quiet enough that it does not interfere with anything. I have mine about ten feet from my couch, and even at full speed, I can barely hear it from that distance and only if the room is completely silent. If you want a well-built, good-looking case that fits a Pi with a DAC hat perfectly, this one is an excellent choice.

Love the little box. Not sure if it was the HAT I was using (the wisd Pi Hifi DAC) or what, but I had to modify things quite a bit to make it work: 1) The HAT sockets did not connect with the PI Pins because the standoffs were too tall initially. I ground down the standoffs by 2 or 3 mm. 2) Grinding down the standoffs resulted in some of the solders on the bottom of my HAT to contact the heat sink and fan, so I had to file those down too to make enough clearance. 3) Because of the reduction in height overall, I needed to cut the audio out window out a bit more to make room for the jacks, which couldn't get a good connection after lowering the standoffs. 4) Without lowering the standoffs, I have no idea how the fan connectors would get enough clearance with the lid. In my situation, there's enough, but it's tight. All said, it still looks nice, but I'm sad I had to grind things down so much, marring the appearance a little bit.

1. Very good quality 2. Decent looking and feel. 3. Nice compact design. 4. Pefect fit to pair with InnoMaker's DAC/AMP Respberry Hats. Note: Please pay attention to the need of Raiser/Long Pin Headers when using with other brand HATs.

Nice looking case but I cannot get it altogether tightened, it still rattles. The included cooling fan was noisy as heck. I disconnected it. I wrote to InnoMaker for a remedy, but never heard back. It does fit the DAC that InnoMaker sells so that was my rationale. Don't know if I'd buy anything from them again.

Wonderful Construction

The first enclosure I was sent was for a Raspberry Pi 5, but I have a Pi 4, so I returned that one and re-ordered the enclosure for the Raspberry Pi 4. The heat sink that came with the Pi 4 version was different than the Pi 5 version, but was still completely incorrect for the Pi 4. I am also returning the DAC hat I purchased from Innomaker because it's of no use to me without the correct enclosure. I will never order anything from them again.

Everything fit perfectly precisionally in my opinion of course it only took a few minutes no special tools works great

Quality is good and works well. Good combo for the DAC PRO HAT.

スマートファンも搭載されお気に入りです。DACはinnomakerのものでないとピンの高さが合いません。hifiberryで苦労しました。

Excellent produit en termes de finitions, il faut un peu de dextérité pour assembler le matériel mais le résultat est excellent: un Raspeberry qui ne chauffe pas grâce au ventilateur inclus

Solid case, But Acrylic top cover is missing in the box

I have a raspberry pi 4 with an audio hat and was looking for something sturdy to house it all in. This case is perfect. It fits well and feels strong. As it's metal, it is heavier than most other cases but this makes it feel even more solid overall. Really pleased with it.
