TEK-RPI-X3: An extra-large case for your Raspberry Pi3, Pi2, or B+ (Black)

Absolutely phenomenal case finally a case with some room like you can have a fan and you can have double stack heat sinks and you can have a heat sink on your RAM if you get the copper heat sinks that they also sell on Amazon that come in three pack which are the best anyway and so what I do is I put a heatsink on the ram which also gives its space so that the ventilation that's built into the bottom of the case works as it should this also comes in handy because I overclock my pie a lot and I keep it on top of 120 millimeter raised fan blowing air into the bottom of it to keep it cool. The case has so much room in it I'm able to have a fan on the top plugged into the gpio pins as mentioned earlier and there's plenty of room for a half on top of that to be honest this case is absolutely the best choice for overclockers simply because you can add in as much cooling as you want. I have two heat sinks on my CPU I have double stack heat sinks on the USB controller as well really just for looks but none the less it's nice that I don't have to worry about squeezing my computer into a tiny little box and I finally have a nice well-thought-out case.

I bought this tall case because I have a project with a GPS hat on a Pi3 B and I needed the extra room to mount the GPS antenna lead and a fan. The GPS hat is attached to the PI with risers that are attached with screws from underneath the pi.The problem with this case is that the mounts on the base where the Pi main board would sit has 2 pegs that would fit into the screw holes on the board and 2 holes where it assumes you would screw down the pi onto the case, I posted a picture of the base of the case. I had a boxful of different risers so I was able to put together a combination that worked and kept the pi mounted. I had to use a riser with a screw end to hold the pi in place. If I need to pull it apart I'll need a tiny wrench of some sort to loosen and remove the riser because it is really holding on tight. Because there are 2 'guide pegs' the gps hat is only secured with 2 of 4 screws. It seems sturdy enough for this stationary project.The box top clips into the base, not screw in.The PI power and activity led didn't exactly match up to the holes. It came with 2 very tiny plastic cylinders that fit into the 2 holes and kinda works to show the lights through the case.SD card fit will into the pi through the slot in the case. It sits flush. To remove it you need tweezers to pull the card out, or you'd need to disassemble the case. It comes with a small plastic cover that snaps into place over the SD card to keep it secure. That was a pleasant surprise.For the Price, it's not a bad case. I have a Pi3B with the adafruit gps hat and there was plenty of room for the antenna wire and a small fan drilled through the top.If you want to wall mount this, the bottom and top of the case are flat and have no predrilled holes. You can easily drill through the plastic though, so not too big a deal. I mounted the top of the case to my project and then clipped in the base(with pi mounted into the base). Clips seem strong enough to hold it in place

It's not a bad case but is lacking a few things. One, there are no easy screw mounts on the back (bottom) of the case. You could always put a screw through the plastic but it would be nice to have an easier way to mount it to a wall or some other surface. Prior to ordering I did not find any pictures showing the back so I'm including one here. The second issue with it is there are no "cut-outs" for any wires in the top. While this is really kind of minor (you can easily put holes in the cover) it would have been nice to have them "built-into" the plastic just to simplify things. If possible I would have given the case a 3.5 stars but since 1/2 stars are not possible... it's only getting 3.

Works great with the Pi 3B+ and Allo Piano DAC. That said, I had to do some post-production work on the case to get it all to fit (not tEK's fault, Ithe case work perfectly as is). Drilled some holes in the top and installed a case fan. Keeps my Pi cooler than the other side of the pillow.

What a fantastic case! Allows plenty of extra room for addons. I was able to place a remotepi controller board inside with a remote power switch, barrel power connector, IR receiver and led. Still leaving me room for a small fan if I decide to add one in the future. Highly recommend this case for any media center project.

I used these to embed a small audio amplifier. They're great, and have plenty of room for additions. Soft plastic is sturdy but easy to drill. In the attached pictures I have grey, but the black are exactly the same.

Doesn't really fit a Pi3 very well. And if you have a header for it, heat is an issue.

good
