![]() ![]() FLIRC REVIEW PCįLIRC have kept everything that makes the original case great, shrunk it down, and added some nice elements that make this mini PC for every day carry. The familiar aluminium casing with a core heatsink and smooth top is there, offering silent, passive and efficient cooling combined with great looks. The SD Card is enclosed inside the case so it won't slip out or get stolen. The case needs to be disassembled before the SD card can be removed. There’s even a pre-installed lanyard included in the box in case you want to take your Zero somewhere other than the home. Two top covers are included with the FLIRC Zero – allowing you to hide away and protect your GPIO, or leave it exposed for prototyping your projects. You can even add a pHATwithout worrying about your Zero’s temperature.I got my Pi4 kit today, pretty fast. Unboxed it with the usual anticipatory pleasure for a new thing.Įven though I knew all about the size from specs, seeing the pieces brought home just how small the device is. It seems to be made of a good grade of glossy black plastic, and has well-thought-through features. The bottom of the box (slightly elevated on pads) is a matrix of holes, and the top also has good-sized ventilation holes, configured in the shape of the rPi logo. The lid is friction fit, and hits the sweet spot - enough friction to remain firmly in place, but to still allow easy removal. There are stand-offs that elevate the lid slightly, so there is a 2 or 2.5 mm gap all around the case, functioning as a large vent. The kit comes with a small fan that installs in the lid underneath the top vents, and can be configured for high speed or low speed (quieter) operation through attachment to the appropriate pins on the GPIO. I very much doubt that I'll need this fan. I'm looking forward to assembly and installation. ![]() My thanks to all for the great guidance in response to fairly ignorant newbie questions. I'd like to think that's all I'll need, but am absolutely certain more advice will be required in due course. R.I'd be interested to see how it compares with the Flirc case at keeping the temperature down. ![]() R.I've just bought a used Pi 3B that came with a case rather like yours. The maker is "oneninedesign", it all clips together nicely with room for natural airflow through the bottom plate and out of the raspberry on top. There's room for a HAT or a camera module, neither of which I'll need for the task this one was bought for (NAS for data backups).Īnd what's happened to the forum - suddenly the forum bits are all in German! Help!!ĮDIT: there's a language picker at the bottom of the screen. Something somehow had switched the choice to German. (There's a comparison/review of the Argon NEO vs FLIRC at ) All is back to normal now.įwiw, I run LMS on a Pi4 in an Argon NEO case. It's a really well-made aluminium case, which (like the Flirc) uses the metal casing for passive cooling, but with the added feature of having a magnetically-attached top which can be removed to access Pi's connectors. ![]()
