GeeekPi Aluminum Case for Raspberry Pi 5, Support PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD Shield Top X1001 / X1003 / X1000 / N04/ N05 & Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler

I’m extremely impressed with the GeeekPi Aluminum Case for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for premium build quality, efficient cooling, and added functionality for their Raspberry Pi. Here’s a quick breakdown of why this case stands out: Premium build quality: Solid aluminum construction, sleek and durable. Effective cooling: Active cooler reduces temperatures even under heavy workloads. PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD support: Easy SSD expansion with seamless compatibility. Easy assembly: Quick setup with clear instructions and no hassle. Great ventilation: Efficient heat dissipation through well-designed airflow. Value for money: High-quality case with excellent features at a reasonable price. Overall, the GeeekPi Aluminum Case is a must-have for anyone serious about getting the most out of their Raspberry Pi 5. The added cooling and storage expansion options make it worth every penny.

5 starts as for this value its really good with plenty of space in it. top is acrylic though, i kept it but added a thin steel sheet - wanted a all around shielding. the opening for sd card is also rather big, but maybe a benefit for people with larger fingers :)

The pi 5 fits in nicely, sockets line up nice, even with my existing heating and fan. Plenty if ventilation as well.

It was deep enough to fit a Pi5 with a Pi active cooler and a Pi NVMe HAT. DiCast aluminium base and plastic top. Not elegant but practical. No need for either the included fan or heatsinks as I already had a Pi active cooler.

Nice case plenty of room between the pi and the top also good selection of bits

Excellent

Does what you expect it to, happy, enough said. Easy to build not sure why some people have difficulty.

It is a bit fiddly to assemble but the quality is good. You can see that this is quite a high case which should allow you to use a Hat board on top of the pi. I ordered the Geeekpi N04 pcie NVME hat and a Netac NV3000 pcie drive. It all went well until I tried to put the lid on and the fan clashed with the drive which means that the case isn't actually compatible with the hat. I have contacted GeeekPi and they are sending a metal case with the official active cooler which fits on the pi 5 board not the case so should work with the case that I have or the metal case. I think it is this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GeeekPi-Raspberry-Official-Active-Support/dp/B0CMZG29LG/ref=pd_ci_mcx_pspc_dp_d_2_t_3?pd_rd_w=qxjkE&content-id=amzn1.sym.8db49f41-2d78-4c1c-bc3b-fb9e44b9efb4&pf_rd_p=8db49f41-2d78-4c1c-bc3b-fb9e44b9efb4&pf_rd_r=DG9GEEMYSD5RNSB64SWX&pd_rd_wg=6cgNF&pd_rd_r=b00e2695-be34-4f6a-9d19-6191944d2f65&pd_rd_i=B0CMZG29LG I will keep you posted on this as I am a bit wrried about removing the passive heat sinks from the pi chips so that I can fit the active cooler. Just be aware that this case is not compatible with the N04 hat. They should probably change the description to save faffing about.
