- Raspberry Pi 4 Argon One case review, including assembly, software install and cooling test. Note that this case is labelled and sold as both the “Argon 1” and the “Argon One”. I cannot explain why!
Since I posted the video, many people have asked for supplier links, so here as two retailers listing the Argon One. These are not affiliate links:
Argon One at The Pi Hut: thepihut.com/products/argon-o... (this is where I bought mine from).
Argon One at Seeed Studio: www.seeedstudio.com/Argon-ONE...
My previous Raspberry Pi 4 cooling video in which I generated my test data is here: • Raspberry Pi 4 Passive...
While the video featuring the ICE Tower cooler and the Pimoroni Fan SHIM is here: • Raspberry Pi 4: More A...
And the video in which I build a Noctua fan cooling solution for the Pi 4 is here: • Raspberry Pi 4 Cooling

They could put the bigger HDMI port on the black board
Now this would have been an excellent idea, as they are extending anyway. They missed a trick here.
@Thebrightestbrick88 I bought an adapter, and it does not seem to work reliably at all. Sometimes, the image just goes on and off without a reason, even though I tried different settings in config.txt to fix that.
That was the first idea that I had when I saw that expansion board... thay could replace that awkward micro HDMI with proper one... have no idea why they didn't :-/
I agree, full size HDMI would have been a good idea.
I agree the HDMI port is ridiculous on the PI 4. Should of extended it out to full size HDMI.
I like the idea of the script for the power button, forcing an ORDERLY shutdown, and not just 'pulling the plug' and possibly frying the SD card and it's contents.
I agree 100%, and I'll add SD cards are not the most expensive things to replace, but the prices have gone up slightly at least here in the US from ligit sellers of quality brands like ADATA, Sandisk, PNY, etc..
Commodorefan64 corona effect , factories 🏭 are slowing down production in China (now we live a rebirth in the production with an increase of production to deliver worldwide )
I don't think the SD can be fried by doing it. In fact if using raspbian most of the system activity happens in ram filesystems. I have a wattering controller since 2 years which uses an raspberry pi3b+, raspbian, and had no issues during loss of energy
The card won't be fried but might get corrupted. Likely, you will have to reflash it.
I have the same case. I am really happy with it. Though there ain't no option to install the script on other distributions. I am wondering if the fan works also without the script?
That's a bit of a pity.
The fact that you can have all the darn connectors on one side and not have a mess for me is the biggest selling point.
Thanks for another inimitable review. I like the way you managed to keep the case in the shot and how you bluffed your way through it on camera when you found it difficult to get the part out of the bag!
This looks like a very good case, so thanks for bringing it to my attention Chris. I currently use the Flirc case which is passive cooled and turns the case into a large heatsink, as you mentioned. I've tried the fan shim solution, but while very quiet and effective, it gives the pi no protection what-so-ever - and indeed no protection for the fan itself! In general use my pi 4 runs around 50 degrees, so setting the fan to come on at 55 degrees for a short time if required seems like a good solution.
Really wish a board that takes the time to move the connectors like this would have instead given us two full sized HDMI connectors. Those adapters are a tad expensive.
John Toepfer , that was exactly my thought as well when I watched it.
@@hnahler didn't think of that but glad you brought it up - plenty of room for full size HDMI connectors!
same but If it also have a place to put a 2.5 slot this would 100% be the best case.
They could have done an over and under on the hdmi and still had them full size without a larger board.
My thoughts exactly, or at least a full size HDMI for the primary. Going a step further, I think it was a mistake for the Raspberry Pi Foundation to have used Micro HDMI. Hopefully, they'll fix that with their next revision.
Thanks for your review, Christopher. I was a little concerned that you might not have removed the plastic from both sides of the heat transfer paste, but when I looked carefully at your "speeded up" application, I determined that you had, so "All Good" as they say.
I have had one of these cases on my new Pi4 for a little while and I am quite impressed with its appearance and accessibility/ protection of the GPIO pins.
Keep well. I look forward to your next video.
Hey, this is the case that I have! I also have the flirc case for my server (thanks to EC's recommendation and Amazon link), but my Pi in my living room has the Argon One, and it looks really nice. When it comes to the script, the install command just downloads it using curl and pipes it through bash to run it. You can always manually go to the link to read and download it. I think it's a nice case, and now it's good to know how it compares in terms of cooling. Thanks for another great video! 👍
I purchased this case when I ordered my 4gb Pi 4 BEST CASE PERIOD! I’m about to order the Pi 3 version as well!
I have this case and LOVE it. Two things of note. One, you can inspect the code of the shutdown script if you prefer before applying it. And two, even if you do not install the shutdown script you can still use the button to power off - just hold it down a few seconds. I found that the fan is not even needed because the heat sink works so well. Also, I prefer to have the back of the case turned to be the front so I can connect and disconnect easily. Note, the power supply for this is more powerful than the official Pi supply. Again, I love this case.
I've been eyeing this case for a while, but now I'm fully convinced: I just noticed the top board (which has the GPIO connections and the fan) has a spot to solder an IR receiver to! Definitely grabbing this case once I got my hands on a Pi 4 for my media player upgrade!
Thanks for another great video. Best way to spend some of this lockdown time!
I have actually just ordered this case for my Pi 4, even though it's not perfect it will help me solve an issue with cable management.
I have my Pi 4 connected to our living room TV, placed on a shelf beneath the TV where you would usually have your Blu-Ray player or Sky box these days, and I use it as a (retro) gaming computer, hooked up with a couple of Xbox controllers. Works like a charm now, but cables do make it look a slight mess.
Anyway keep up the good work and stay safe!
Yes! “How to make tea with the Raspberry Pi 4 project” gets my vote. I appreciate this case review and look forward to your next video.
Ah, a project for me now!
Quite nice to have Pi with tea, yes?
The power button location is not the only opportunity they missed with the design as they could have made one of the HDMI ports full sized and added a barrel connector for more PSU options.
Other than that it's a decent case for $25.
Agreed on full-size HDMI! :)
I was thinking the exact same thing about the HDMI port while watching the video!
another poor design choice is no pass through for the camera and display connectors for the Pi4
Since this video, there's a revision to the case: the A/V daughterboard has full-size HDMI ports. The case has also been updated to match. [I have a Pi 4]
Thank you for going so in depth on many SBC's. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. :)
What a good quality review, all questions answered! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for a good review of the Argon One case. I like the design of the case with all of the ports in the back. I like the concept of having easy access the GPIO pins. I am curious whether the how well the concept of the worked in practice. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into your videos and I am looking forward seeing the what new topics you will cover on the channel.
Thanks for watching!
I have this case. Amazing for desktop use. Great performance, and new user friendly. Thanks for the review.
Great to hear!
Wow, what a beautifully designed case!
Ah... this is something I have debated getting...
Thanks for reviewing this!
I decided to buy Raspberry Pi 4
Thank you Chris for all rpi videos :)
Finally I'll test my knowledge on real hardware
Enjoy your Pi. The Pi 4 is a great SBC.
How are you finding it. I've just ordered one
I see a man who knows what he wants, proper AT standard switching, no unneeded software
switching mains and reducing standby power to zero.
Exactly.
Really like to see nice, robust cases for the RPi, and this is one of them (nice price too) . A software pwr switch vs none at all, hmm... It nice to have options. 😉 Thanks for another great video Chris.
I like having all the connectors on one side, and I agree about the power button location and function.
I use thic case for an emulation / retropie build. Passieve cooling is great as is the on / off button for my kids. Active fan only kicks in sometimes when i overclock. Only negative in my opinion is the scripted install (want to know what's happening) for the software controlled fan. BTW, using flirc cases for my other pi based servers.
Great job, Stanley! You're definitely a cut above the rest!
Mr. Scissors is a *cut* above the rest. Stanley the Knife is a *slice* above the rest.
:)
Fantastic video as always, I love your presenting style and informative as usual
It would have been useful to do tests with the fan running at 10 and 50% power as it's not just a passive case. I also agree with previous comments about adding full size hdmi support in the larger case. Great video as ever Chris!
4:55 Your narration as you try to fit the "tight fitting" board into the case reminded me a little bit of a Monty Python skit ("get in there you little swine...oh there we are). LOL! Nice video, interesting product (I just may go for this) and GREAT content as usual. Thank you,
Yup this is a nice case, they also have a new version which is just passive with no fan called "Argon NEO". Using both atm
I like the Neo a lot but since it doesnt have the extra board to move the video connectors to the back, I think the One still wins in the aesthetic department
Great video. I particularly enjoyed the jumbo jet comparison.
I have just bought one of these and fitted it too after watching your video. Extremely well built and a very easy process. Looks stunning and I can see that the cooling from the case is working already, don't know if the fan will come on in my use or not - let's see. Thank you.
Great to hear. Sounds like you are very happy with this case. :) And I am not surprised.
I would be interested in the IR capabilities as at 6:00 there is a IR OUT and IR IN option on the board within the case. I cant seem to find anything on Argon's site about this. It would be nice to see a review of a case that has IR Remote capabilities. I would like to use this case for a Kodi setup, but would like to use a remote (obviously) for control.
I actually wrote an email to the Argon people and their response was:
start-Quote
Our cases don’t officially have IR support, but there are ways you can use the IR ports.
We recommend that you try out this guide in the link below: www.hackster.io/austin-stanton/creating-a-raspberry-pi-universal-remote-with-lirc-2fd581
end-Quote
I have not yet taken time to study the PCB layout and follow the routing of the prepared space for IR sensors, in order to match it with the description in the link they sent me.
If anyone does that, I will be interested to know the result.
This is a great case for a HTPC setup, because it relocates all the cables to the back. I've got two of them. $25 on Amazon. :)
I got one of these a few weeks back. It is great, bringing all the ports to one edge was the winner for me. Interestingly, I found that the gap in the casting for the Ethernet connector was not quite big enough. A few strokes with a file sorted it for me, but I'm not sure what a less DIY inclined person would have made of the situation.
Yet again informative AND interesting - thank you!
Thank you Chris for all your RPi videos :)
I bought this case a few weeks ago and played around with some distros. I also installed Manjaro and LibreELEC on some micro SD Cards. Is there a chance that you make a video for other distros as Raspbian, like e.g. Manjaro, LibreELEC or whatever, using this ArgonOne Case (concerning the script for the fan)? :)
I think there are a lot of guys looking for a script that works with this case. Thank you. Kind regards,Peter
Figures that when I buy a different case last night, this one gets a reviewed and now I want it.
On the port breakout board, you can see pads for IR transmit-receivers. The transparent plastic would let IR from a remote control shine through, in addition to letting the red power light show. With all the ports around the back, that makes this look like a very attractive HTPC enclosure.
Overall the case seems pretty well-designed, whether you want to use it as a mini-PC, HTPC, or just a cool project box (with that nicely labeled 40 pin panel).
Thank you! Great demo as usual! And I do love the case beside the software power-switch, which I am not a fan of, either!
Aaargh! For some insane reason, I hate those tiny hdmi ports and definitely feel that Argon missed a great chance to fit a full size HDMI there. Breaking an hdmi cable on the road without the possibility to substitute with a common-garden cable is nuts. there is enough space to do that. Other than that, this looks to be a good case.
I have like 8 of them as a Thin Client working.
I ABSOLUTLY LOVE the Power Button Feature, but i would love to see it with 2 Full Size HDMI ports for Durability.
Temperature is just perfect.
With the new driver freerdp works just fine now.
You dont have to install the software to power on the pi or if you want to force shutdown the pi, You only have to install it for the Fan and the Reboot/ Soft Shutdown part of the powerbutton.
Nice video and good review as always. I like the idea of the expansion pcb to bring all the connectors out to one side, and agree with you that a software controlled switch is less than ideal. As far as the look of this case goes - it reminds me of an old US Robotics 56K dialup modem which I used to own in the late 80s/early 90s, I think a bit more could have been done on the looks of this case.
Keep up the good content
Great video. My Argon One M.2 SSD capable case came yesterday, copied Raspian OS onto the SSD and USB boot here we come. Working great, temperature 48 deg. This was an easy case to assemble, and although you don't have access to the microSD slot, I like how the Argon One case looks and performs, active cooling and passive cooling makes this a definite contender for a must have for anyone wanting to switch to Raspian Pi as their main Desktop System. I am expecting a new PCB board from DeskPi in March for the DeskPi Pro I bought that doesn't work, I hope it functions just as nicely as the Argon One. Nice case, no power supply though, not a deal breaker, but would be nice.
Love the case, but for 44$ cdn through Canakit, I think I'll stick for my cheap case retrofitted with an 80mm fan. It's almost as much as the Pi!!!
overclock pi to 2.6ghz on 9v stick tin cup on the case with water. Add tea bag to cup. It now makes tea.
Also the wires are the backthe LED is the front I think
Hell yeah. Been eyeing this case out for a bit now.
Another great video! Having my morning lockdown cup of tea from my T2 stainless steel tea flak, designed for leaf tea, makes two cups and the second cup is always hot. I think the rear mounted power button is an Apple Steve J's OCD design thing that you do get used to. Like you, I prefer hardware to be hardware and soft switches sometimes don't.
I actually like the look of this, also would not bother with the additional software. Now I just need a Pi 4 so I can get this case.
Oh dear, Christopher. I was most distressed that while you did note the relative noisiness of the Pimoroni v. the Argon one v. a jumbo jet, you did not note the actual dB readouts of the items you listed in your testing. Otherwise, this was a jolly good episode. I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.
dB levels would certainly be a good factor to look at in the various cooling solutions.
In my case, I've got single-sided deafness, so I'd just put the Pi on the deaf side and voilà - a much quieter Pi experience! :) But not everyone has that "luxury"... (heavy sarcasm quotes)
Thanks for all your great videos! I love them
I was inspired by one of your earlier videos, and bought the aluminium heat sink case for passive cooling. That was a good choice and works well.
I had one of those small fans, and it was just too noisy.
That case you got is still I think the best Pi 4 case.
These things are hard to get in the US. I ordered one on Amazon, and they sent me the case for the Raspberry Pi 3. When I complained, they said they were out Pi 4 cases and figured that a Pi 3 case was an adequate substitute. Hopefully, they will have more in stock next time I get a Pi 4. Great video.
I purchased this case this week also, and am glad you took your SD card out of the Pi before you installed the case: I forgot.
One crunching sound later, and I am now the non-beneficial owner of a borked 16GB SD card. Oops!
:(
Hi Chris when will you do your best desk tour as I really enjoyed your original one
On 10th May is it the 300th EC video, and I am doing a "Behind the Scenes" episode for it. :)
Ok cool
I saw this video on how to install a Linux version of widows xp and windows 98 and 95 on a raspberry pi 4b
Link to the video:-th-cam.com/video/WFtQFNq7TRo/w-d-xo.html
Been wondering about this case. Thanks for the review Chris!!!!!
Greetings Sir! :)
I love your videos! Thank you for the very professional content!
"There we are"
"Here we are"
I get it.
Thank you for another great video to entertain and teach us :) ! Always nice!
Would be awesome if you could give us some lessons about how to run x86 softwares on arm CPUs like Raspberry Pi(s) and others, since Exagear is no longer available. (Thanking you in advance)
Great idea, hard to achieve. One option is using DOS box for DOS and very early Windows software -- see my video here: th-cam.com/video/idHQk99E4VA/w-d-xo.html
@@ExplainingComputers DOS box is a very useful tool, indeed :)
I'd love some content on something like qemu wine . Keep up the great work!
I love their Pi 3 case. Now that I know this exists for the 4, I will be getting one.
I got an Argon One and I absolutely love it! I wish they had a case that would put the one USB port on the top so I could use it for my Flirc Remote sensor. If they had that, it would be the perfect Kodi Case!
5:11 "it's a very tight fit there" i literally said "that's what she said" out loud and found myself hilarious.... i'll show myself out :)
Don't forget your coat . . .
mrosebro lol same here
@@ExplainingComputers Maybe you should have borrowed it to put on the bench so the top of the nice new case didn't get all scratched up. 🤦♂️
@@ExplainingComputers keep up the great work Chris, i do love your videos. =)
It was too tight a fit in the case I got. I felt like I was about to break the Ethernet adapter. I wound up filing the space for the ethernet adapter down with a small file a little bit. Then it fit fine.
Why didn’t they design it with full size HDMI’s on the expansion board ?
Was just thinking that would be a good 'upgrade' they could make for a future version.
100% agree
@@Kathdath No.
It's such a gross design flaw; there's no way they get it right the second time.
Going with Mini-HDMI is not really a flawed design or even that bad a choice, it means this case would be usable in an existing setup, so it is suitable for someone that has been using a bare board or is looking for a case with better thermals, and since the base RPi 4 has the same ports, anyone looking to get into using them is going to need cables or adapters anyway.
That said, there probably would be a market for a version of this case that had full size HDMI ports, that way you could choose the version that best fit your needs and setup.
@@Ts6451 It's not mini-HDMI. Your argument is invalid.
Bought one on 2020-06-29, will greatly improve my cooling instead of leaving the window slightly open and letting incoming air cool it.
Perfect timing Chris!! I bought a PI 4 this week and bought a GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Armor Case with a single 3510 Fan from Amazon. Just ran your script and got these results: temp=31.0'C
, temp=42.0'C, temp=43.0'C, temp=43.0'C, temp=44.0'C, temp=44.0'C, temp=44.0'C, temp=44.0'C.
Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.
BTW, Mine doesn't make tea.
That case you have is an excellent case, probably my favourite.
As a young child, Christopher's village was attacked and burned down by a roaming band of software-controlled power buttons
yes
I can hear this guy talking all day :v, nice review of that case.....
Thanks 😅
Thank you for always doing a great job of presenting and explaining. Absolutely one of the 2 or 3 best channels on youtube. Makes it all worthwhile. The commenters for this vid make a valid point about why not go with full-sized hdmi out ports. Looks like a great case, though. Solid, good with thermals, and best of all, looks like a Cybertruck.
Another great video.
A tip: trial fit the board into the case before incorporating the thermal pads. It's safer that way, but probably wouldn't work into the video very well.
Chris, could you do a series teaching Aduacity?
That would be great :)
Interesting video idea -- noted! :)
Wow, you're gained over 100k subscribers since you've made your 500k video in September, that's like 15k subscribers per month, impressive.
Things do indeed continue to go well for the channel. :)
The best Case i ever saw for a pi. And last week it was available on their website again.
NOT First!!! Yeah! 🙄. As always Chris, excellent video. Love that the case has all the ports on one edge, and has the option of active cooling if wanted. Excellent review!
I hope they do a revision 2 with at least one full size HDMI
Your wish came true! Twice!
I have had this case for several months now and cannot fault it really other than the script will only run in Raspbian. To date I have not found a variation of the script so that it will run with Ubuntu Server. At the moment my Argon One Pi4 is running Rosetta@Home crunching data in the fight against COVID-19
Is it possible to adapt the script to other OSes?
It seems like most of the scripts they have available are for oses built off of Raspbian. Pretty sure they have retropie, recalbox and osmc scripts, but not major Linux versions.
I've been using this case since last christmas. With a basic understanding of systemd, python and shell scripting the 'argon1.sh' script can be modified to run under most distros. The main thing really is to meet the dependencies for raspi-gpio python-rpi.gpio python3-rpi.gpio python-smbus python3-smbus i2c-tools. These might have different names in your distro. The python libraries can also be installed through pip. I'm really just using 'argononed-poweroff.py' inside /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ so that power is cut to the board after poweroff. I have no need for fancy fan control and power button monitoring for reboot etc. I confirmed this with arch arm, but running with raspbian atm.
Without the script installed does the fan run at full speed, or not at all? I like the look of the case because of how it relocates the sockets to the back but I wouldn't want to be forced to use Raspbian.
I don't get why the fan is software controlled anyway, they already have the fan on its own breakout board so would it have really been that much trouble to add a simple temperature sensor and make it operate independent of the OS?
I've had mine for about a month and love it. One of my favorite cases for the pi4
I really think the soft power button is one of its nicest features. It shuts the machine down without having to worry about trashing the SD card. I use mine all the time... just hold the button 3 seconds, release, and wait until the red light goes out and you're good.
The case is so "custom" that Im surprised and a little disappointed that the extension of the HDMIs is not to a full size HDMI :\
P.S. They even have the place for them.
P.S. .. or as some other comment - one HDMI, one Barrel Jack
What don't you like about the "software" power button? How does the Pi 4 normally shut down then?
I would like a power button that works like it does on my PC... short push and it shuts down the programs and OS in an orderly fashion and then turns off the power. Long press and it shuts down without asking the OS for when something really wrong happens. Or use the OS's shutdown command.
Ideally this shouldn't rely on the OS still being in control like this power button seems to require.
Yes that's all well and good, but the soft power off still doesn't eliminate the need to get up, go over and switch the thing off.
The Argon One power button behaves like a normal PC would when the script is installed. Once pressed it will initiate a soft shut down, then it cuts the power to the Raspberry Pi totally.
Pretty cool Chris. Thank you for sharing.. I think the case is pretty cool looking.
Great stuff Chris as usual!
I should probably watch your videos first before clicking like.
P.s. shame they didn't put regular hdmi on the front.
The case colour isn't too _modern._ Reminds me of my old *TRS-80.* ;-P
8” floppy drive comes as an add on
Thank you for another informative and entertaining video.
Fantastic video as always!
I bought one of these cases myself and did a bit of digging into the scripts to see what's going on. I could only see logic for the reboot and a straight shutdown, nothing on the >= 3sec hold from the manual, unless I missed something?
I'm also curious how the power is cut once the pi does shutdown, I assume this is being handled by the circuitry for the power button?
Would be really interested in a video delving deeper into how all this operates.
If they only had made the hdmi-extender go to 2xfullsize hdmi it would have been an instant buy!.
So true!
While I did find a pair of mini-HDMI to full-size HDMI adapters (two in a package for < $16) it would have been nice had it come with them. Then again, this case (plus power supply, mini-HDMI adapters and SD card) was on my wishlist for Christmas, so that worked out well.
My issue with these type of aluminum cases is that wireless connectivity is hindered. Both WiFi and Bluetooth will suffer.
wonder if they'd be able to cobble something together to have a small external antenna as an option...
Maybe use a USB WiFi+Bluetooth dongle?
Not as loud as a Jumbo jet. This is the technical explanations i subscribed for. Thanks!
Just ordered my Raspberry Pi 4 8GB model! Can't wait to begin experimenting!!
Me too!
LOL did you just call the Case a little swine? fantastic!
Finally a proper case!
The port locations on the pi create spaghetti on the table and I only like my spaghetti on a plate 😂
Mr ExplainingComputersDotCom's persuasion tools have convinced me of the merits of upgrading my FLIRC Pi4 case to the Argon One (1).
Your 'spaghetti' description mirrors my situation exactly and will probably put people off from using this as a possible replacement for a desktop PC, with cables coming out in all directions. Well done Argon for releasing this product, and once again thanks to Chris (and Stanley) for another top-quality informative video.
@@johnnyquattro Yes that's why I haven't bothered to get a rpi 4 yet 😂
What I like about the case is that it gives a nice professional look to the Raspberry Pi
I like your style, I like your accent. I like your subjects. Continuing like this it's perfect.
Patrick from France 🇨🇵
Thank you! 😃
At around 10:40 you mentioned a preference for checking the script yourself rather than auto install. My programming skills are not good but I normally wget the script file, check it best I can then install locally.
new version of Argon One v2 have full size HDMI port and no mini hdmi anymore
and have m.2 conector :D
Indeed! I must take a look at the new version, sounds excellent. :) There is also an updated base available to add the M.2 connector and bay to the existing version of the case.
@@ExplainingComputers very nice!
Really great video, I think I may get one of these cases for the children’s pi4s
Thank you
Passive cooling for the RAM is something many other similar cases don't consider. I love it :)
I find the inclusion of neodymium magnets everywhere used as something as trivial as fastenings, quite worrying. It's a rare element and is much better reserved for the manufacture of higher value added products like electric motors, than being wasted on trivial uses like handbag clasps, or to hold a plate on an enclosure for cosmetic reasons.
I can only agree strongly with your assessment. Very true.
@@ExplainingComputers was that a magnet related joke "agree strongly" 🤔😜
you need a chill pill Jo-nathan
this is earth other materials will come along in time as tech evolves
from one internet friend to another Go get a release ure killing the buzz of the party
Peso Mistic: I didn't feel he was a party pooper, but he made a valid point. Party on!
The good news is that they trivial to recover in the waste management stream.
Whats the point of uninstalling the script. Half of the functionality of the case is lost without it. Just download the script and read it without installing it if you're so paranoid about it. The button still functions as a hardware on off if you just hold it but then you lose the safe shutdown/restart procedure. Absolutely ridiculous that you'd want to avoid something that helps you shut down when you dont have a GUI option for shutdown or immediate way to open terminal to run a command.....
I like the look of that case. Putting all the connectors on one edge is a definite plus. As for the power button, you're right about that - It should have been in the front. Most us who are interested in playing with Pi's are creative and capable enough to find the space, and drill and mount a second power switch in the front of the case. And other comments have pointed out the trick of adding a full size HDMI port. Hopefully Argon shall realise their mistakes, and fix both the power switch and HDMI flaws with a second revision of the case.
Finally a case with added value. I am now a proud owner.
:)
