I think it's a shame that there isn't a neater way to plug that SSD into the pie. I wish they had a motherboard incorporated into the little case.
the argon v2 case has a really sleek m.2 implementation with an additional addon
Some kinda hat board that could stack 2 next to each other...
I thought the same.
You mean a daughterboard
Vilros has a long history of half-assing things. They always make something _almost_ really cool but then are too lazy to go the last yard and there's always something about it that makes it awful.
I'm always amazed at the things they get to do around this board.
Let's be honest here, to have a nice and clean look to your micro tower with a Raspi you either have a non-transparent case that's going to hook up extensions to most of the ports and route them to its own rear-IO panel, or you make a case that is made for a Raspi Compute Module and you do all ports from scratch.
The multi-sided I/O always looks like a band-aid solution and once you plug something into every side it ruins the entire look.
So far no single case has FULLY convinced me.
I didn't think of it this holistically, but yeah, you are completely right! That would be cool to have a mini-mini-tower with all the i/o in one spot, expanded USB ports, full size HDMI, nvme in there, etc. Right now I'm using the Canakit, and it looks like a Franken-puter when all my shit's plugged in!! Cheers from Detroit!
Argon one with ssd is the case you’re looking for.
@@feahnorl I’d agree that it at least solves the problem about everything plugging in from a gazillion sides, but it too has not convinced me. I know about the case and it’s probably the best the market has to offer, but it’s not checking all of the boxes I’d love to see taken care of.
And with one thing I’m not quite certain, that being whether it’s model-specific or would allow upgrades of the Pi itself whilst keeping the case.
Also it’s not a tower design, but rather horizontal desktop case style, which isn’t bad, I think those cases have a lot to offer, just not what I’m looking for.
1-2 front ports for USB would be nice as well, for flash drives for example.
A power button on the front would rock.
Those are my main points of personal critique about the case.
Looks nice, but for the price the Argon One M. 2 case seems like a better value.
That Argon One M2 is vastly superior. Pocket size, full size HDMI ports, more premium look. Right now the best option 100%.
@@labnine3362 Agreed. Can't believe anyone would want a tower case for a Pi 4 when the Argon One m.2 exists. Only downside is you can't access the SD card slot without removing the bottom of the case, an issue the non m.2 version doesn't have.
This is a shut up and take my money case. Love it.
I really dig it.
I just wish two things:
1/ That it had a cutout for easy microSD access, and
2/ That it had a channel to be able to tuck the SSD's USB cable mostly out of sight.
I would have loved to see this with the space and mounting points for 2 SSD's. This would make a very handsome little file server. Gotta love a little bling in your rack.
This looks just freaking awesome 😁
ETA Prime; Excellent Vid! This case looks sweet. Another Contender for my ArgonOne M.2
I am waiting for the RPi5 before I buy my first one as I'm hoping that this 'Chip Shortage' will be gone in 12-18 months. I like the ideas of two clear sides as then I can go to a local shop and get a custom sides made to duct both the input & output of the fan. My Workstation PC's case is a horizontal version and I can see myself literally mounting a case like this to the left or right sides of it so I can duct the outside of both cases & run the cables from the RPi right in to the PC motherboard. I don't own any sort of 3D printer so I would be buying a prebuilt case for the RPi anyway.
they should have drilled some holes in the side of the clear plastic case. there is a ton of airflow being left out on the table. those tiny 40mm noctua fans would be able to mount onto the would-be side vents to provide really good thermals.
Agreed. Circulating most of the hot air inside the case doesn't help with cooling.
Don't worry , they will so they can sell it to you again . Planned obsolescence
Nice video!! Is there a up right closed case for raspberry pi 4 cluster with a fan? I have a Cyrillic vertical open case with multi fan.
Dang it…ETA Prime got me again…just ordered 2 😅
E.T.A a shortcut for Every Thing Awsome. ❤️❤️
It's a good idea to pay attention to the SATA/USB adapter. If you get the "wrong" one, you'll often run into write-errors and an extremely unreliable system.
Raspberry Pi foundation has a list of 'approved' ones I think.
I just love this case so much. Kinda dont like the ssd cable being so exposed would love a way to hidden that cable but its not a deal breaker for me.
Im kinda waiting 1 or 2 years for raspberry pi 5 and I might get it to use with a case like this and use as my everyday desktop.
Can you recommend a good guide on getting the Pi to boot from the SSD via the USB?
Something like that would be cool for the Industrial intel nuc I just ordered. But have it so its water tight and I could fill it with mineral oil.
I keep looking for a better way to connect the SSD, it looses the clean style for me
I have the fan on mine and it works great.
that is awesome looking I will be picking one of these up ty @ETA PRIME
nice little case.
That is a super cool case.
You post the coolest ish😂🙏
Im not into raspberry pi stuff, but this is pretty cool!
I would love this for when the pi5 comes out and it needs an ice tower cooler
@etaprime could you share link to your keyboard - I love it!
Great video!
Hello ETA PRIME, I love your videos, can you tell me what is the white controller in the miniature? I saw it in other of your videos and I really like it.
How loud is the fan on this thing? Currently using a similar case by ElectroCookie but having trouble using it with content creation since the fan is pretty loud.
hey. new intro bumper. I like it!
I like how this is one of the few cases that leaves room for tall raspberry pi hats to be used
So you can put any small sbc inside this enclosure right ? Like a lattepanda?
seems a bit daft imho having the ssd at the top, considering how heat rises, i would have had it mounted to the backplate vertically or something to not block cool airflow. the way the ssd is hooked up also looks ugly as heck, id rather stick to a Michael Klements case, which looks a lot tidier and a lot of others seem to imitate.
Sheeesh. What is the gorgeous keyboard???
Might be great for Coinops pi4 build :)
would it make a difference in cooling if you changed the fan for a noctua one ?
im so glad i got my Pi 4 before they became impossible to get. turned mine into a mini PS1 with a Mini PS1 case.
Nice keyboard!
yea im getting this and moding it
Will it work on an Intel NUC 8th Gen i7 or i5 ? =]
Seems small enough ?
its like mini aquarium
It would have made more sense to have the SSD be mounted to the black front panel. The case looks so nice and clean, but that SATA cable is a no-go for me.
Do they have a verison with a m.2 slot on the Pi instead of the bulky sata hd.
The case looks good but if you have to hang that much SSD cable outside the case then you may as well have the drive itself be outside the case... At this point cases like this need a daughterboard to move the ports to the back and maybe host a power button and n.2 port. This adds nothing over the electrocookie aluminum mini tower case.
What keyboard is that? It looks dope
Quite awesome! Too bad i can't find a raspberry pi in online stores, and if they are available, the prices are too high...
Hey man do you think that next gen pi have GPU support
This just makes me hope that the Pi5 has an M.2 port.
The Pi4 is just a bit too slow for general desktop use. I'm hoping the 5 steps it up. I'd love to see M.2 port native as well.
@@quademasters249 I find it perfectly fine as a desktop computer. It is just fine for office work, Web browsing and the like.
With all of the chip shortages and the like, it might be some time before there is a Pi 5.
@@quademasters249 That's funny, because I use an RPi4B as my alt-desktop and it works fine. Obviously, I'm not doing Blender on it, but for general work it's just fine.
@@horseradishpower9947 I agree about it being a long time until we see a Pi5. Last I heard, they had a backorder of 2 million units and were only able to make about 500K per month. They don't really have a reason at the moment to push a Pi5 since the 4 is still selling so well.
The chip shortage Is delaying the development of the 5. I expect to see it in 2025
Awesome
I got an SD card loaded with the boot record change installed on my Pi4 and get all the way to the Green Screen, but Pi won't boot/load from my SSD ....
Is it viable to OC it to 2GHZ in this cooling? will really help with the performance.
i have the two fan hat and a bunch of copper heatsinks on the chipset, i have a 2gb pi4 overclocked to 2.8 ghz!
I like to watch you 're own gaming PC build.
Looks awesome, but what can we actually do with it in the matter of power? Asking for a friend haha
Know the PI and other SBC's have their place with a small form factor and low power, but....
Seems like it is currently cheaper and better performance to get a used windows PC or even a Chromebook.
I said it in another video man I really like the new intro with the Zelda sounding track. Thanks for years of episodes I never miss one thanks again mr. Prime
Is this case only for the Pi 4? Or can it be used for the Pi 5?
what keyboard is this he used in all his videos on background?
Nice video 👍
Cool look 👍. Does rx6400 fit in there? 😜
edit: Wonder whether a 50mm exhaust fan (with a short warranty period and RGB) fits up top replacing that ssd?
@n n Kindest regards, neighbor and friend. Can I just put one in there anyways, unplugged . . . you know, for the looks? 😜 Only kidding. Am seriously not being serious.
@n n . . . at less than 10W power consumption at the wall. 👍 Kindest regards, friend.
Looks like there's room for a small heatsink on the memory, with the cooler in place.
Are those XDA keycaps?
There needs to be a case that has a port passthrough with a redirect built in for the ssd so no external wires
There are many.
@@virtuallifeform Where?
It looks nice but only without the SSD. :(
Since RasPis are expensive these days I really wonder if one of those older netbooks from like 5- 10 years ago could be a good alternative for some tinkering. They dont cost much on the used market but are they in any way fast enough with todays standards? What do you think? +ETA PRIME
I remember like 2012 there were Asus EeePC and MSI Wind Netbooks with Intel N270 or Z530, but later there were also dual and quad core chips. Maybe this would be a nice budget school netbook project to check that out in a video, install linux or maybe Windows on it and test some browsing or even light gaming like Stardew Valley, Skyrim or something ...
I saw a "Chuwi Hero Book" the other day on my local used market. It had a 14 inch 1080p display but an Intel Atom E8000. I have no idea if this chip is any good.
Avoid any Intel Atom with the gma500 graphics! Linux support is non existent and it makes for a horrible experience. Platform is known as 'Poulsbo' & afair it's on every Atom CPU starting with 'Z'
it has plenty of room to fit in SSD drive, but why leave the connector outside which makes the whole setup a bit ugly.
2 things I don't like about this setup: huge gap between the SSD and the fan and also the SSD cable running out of the case, down toward the USB. The SSD should have been mounted under the Pi IMO for a cleaner look.
Instead of the tower cooler, it seems they could have just used the case as a heatsink - thermal paste and bolt the board directly to the case. Smaller and silent.
Hope the Raspberry Pi 5 comes with an NVMe option. Full sized HDMI would also be nice. And Android 12L Desktop OS.
Hay ETA do you know if there is a way to install Garuda Linux on a Pi ?
It's been a long time since you have made a video on Pi 4
I dont know much about these things but can it run windows os?
They should do one similar with mineral oil..
*can you pls make a video on the nord n20 5G it's a really good budget phone and I feel more people should know about it. 6gb ram 128 gb of expandable storage. Has a headphone jack and it's 282 at t mobile but a bit more at other places unlocked*
Is that a Keychron keyboard?
Ooooo. I want to se a water cooled over clocked rpi.
Where you get that keyboard?
What keyboard is that? Thanks.
Maker score 8 out 10. Clean designed case. But the SSD setup is not that that great.
where can i buy it?
thx
What keyboard is that? I need one.
RPI prices are insane!!!
Am I missing the link in the description?
Noticed that too, it's not there, but just search for:
vilros reveal case
and you find it.
What is the keyboard you use in your videos? I really like it
NuPhy Air75
does this support NVME ?
Can i use raspberry pi 3b on it?
Is this available yet?
I kinda regret buying 3B+ now because almost all nice cases with SSD options are solely for 4 only
What keyboard is that?
lol worry about glass panel when theirs no air flow. I understand it's a little raspberry pi but no air flow
Interesting but I'd rather see a solution for a compute module that gives you a back plain for all IO.
I've never been one to enjoy the look of my PC innards. I've built every desktop I ever owned and I've always shut off the RGB and never buy a case with a window. I'm not sure what the appeal is but everyone I know loves RGB and windows.
I do not like the solution to plug the SSD in. It is what it is but I feel there should be something better than an ugly adapter sticking out of the case.
That cooler seems a bit overkill to me.
This is pretty neat as like a joke or something.
i like they think in the external drive, but, the cable is not the perfect solution, it breaks the style of the case.
Yeah but... What about airflow? ( ©GN)
If there's such a strong market for single board computers, why isn't there a market for GPUs around the same size?
Ahhh the SSD setup is a bit inelegant for what looks to be a display unit...
use a software master/engineer to install windows11 onto smartphones(windows11 have drivers for snapdragon 845) and then review them, review/test them as steam gaming performance and thermal...
Buen video cómo siempre.
Podrías decir cuál es tu teclado y ratón que usas?. Me encanta
