Its pretty Cool and cooling even if it does have RGB lights.
I was impressed at how well this was packed in the product box (not the shipment box). Part of this was a small screwdriver and a nice container for the standoffs, bolts and screws and such. I will continue to use this container to store stuff. Each plastic piece has a protective covering that will need to be peeled off. Be sure to remove this covering before assembly but I would recommend not removing the covering until you need to because the plastic is a fingerprint magnet. The instructions are OK not great but it not hard to figure out. One thing that is not documented is that the fan only goes in one way with the wires at the top of the case. If you try to put it in any other way the fan notches will not line up with the notch holes in the sides. All the pieces are nicely etched and fit together well. Its important to note that the RGB lights CAN BE left unpowered (i.e. off). More importantly the fan is very quiet and pushes a lot of air across the device shelves that contain, in my case, Raspberry Pi's. The shelves are in a fixed position but there is plenty of space for hats and such.I use my Pi's to run ESXI-Arm and as we all know Pi's run a bit hot and running Esxi they can run very hot. I had another bramble/cluster case that held 4 Pi's and while I liked the small case however the Pi's temp quickly was at 80C and throttled and this was with ShimFans . Not good. I bought GeekPi case and its a pretty amazing I've been running it and the Pi's for 24 hours now and none of the Pi's have exceeded 34C.If you are setting up a bramble and plan to run anything serious get this case! I have shimFans and this GeekPi case and will recommend these to anyone. Its really Cool almost cold. :-)

Takes time to assemble, but worth it. Great case!!!
I got this to replace a simple case for a 4 RPi4 cluster. This case is amazing. First, it has enough room to use the official Raspberry Pi POE hats on the units. The adapters for the SD cards are very high quality, moving the cards to the other side for easy access. These were much better quality than expected and a nice plus. Assembling takes a long time, but the end result is great. The fan puts off a LOT of air for the power (5v). I have two of these, with 3 POE and one with adapter (powering fan and pi) in each. They are under heavy load off and on and they never break 40c or use more than 7 watts each. Amazing setup and this case made it SOO much better.

Attractive case, fixed the blocked SD memory card slot, but not enough parts for full install
I admit,I was ready to return this case without even opening the box, but since it wasn't sealed I decided to take a peek. I'm glad I did. I noticed parts contained in anti-static bags, wrapped with tape. These were 4 micro card slot extensions, which FIXED the stated and very obvious problem of the box design. This was a piece of good news. Also, I don't get how people complain about the parts not fitting together and had to use Dremel to "make it fit". Total nonsense. The case was designed brilliantly (again, except for the ridiculous way the big fan is permanently attached, blocking the memory slots.Now, the pain.The installation is only for those with lots of patience, tools required to install small screws (If you do not own iFixIt toolkit -buy it now. it will save you pain and money in the long term), and 3 hours of solid work. Not difficult, but requires paying attention. Otherwise, it will take more time.Pay attention to the baseboards (4 of them) which you will attach your RP to. Lots of holes, which cover a lot of boards. Lots of screws, but NOT ENOUGH. The new extra part needs 3 extra raisers and 6 extra screws to attach them (3 bottom + 3 top). So, I hope that the seller reads my review and comes through with these missing parts. Otherwise... I am ready to willing to disassemble and send it all back.The REAL pain is the plastic protecting the acrylic parts are protected with. This took me 40 minutes to scrip these . Oh, and as somebody already suggested - USE GLOVES when you do it. Otherwise, all the beautiful shines will be all covered with your fingerprints, and will definitely kill the "awesomeness buzz".Finally, the documentation that came in is OLD and the pictures do not cover the part of the new memory extension part. Nor does it show how exactly connect the FAN wires to Raspberry PI. Luckily, this information is included here on Amazon on the product page. Easy breeze. Just pay attention not to cross them.Final thought - I wish the designers of such cases actually use them BEFORE they decide to market them. There is another case that solves the "you want to add/change a module - take EVERYTHING apart" problem. There is NO NEED to keep fan solidly attached to both "walls" of the case, and not a slide in-and-out attachment. The same goes for the baseboards that Raspberry PI's are attached to. There ARE other cases that have them, but with different. problems.And the price could be lower, but ... it's only money.Also, I love the big and quiet fan. That's what won me in the first place. If you don't like the VERY bright light, don't attach the two separate wires, or put a switch between the fan and the pins.
