## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little pricey, but nice enclosure for Pi 4, X825, and X725
*by B***P on June 12, 2021*

Nice compact enclosure for a Pi 4, X825, X725 stack. Power and SSD indicator lights show through. Power button allows you to turn on, reset, or power off. Note that If you are using the X725 power unit, the fan included with this kit is redundant. With heat sinks placed on the Pi 4 and the X725 fan, I was able to overclock the Pi to 2.0 Mhz and still maintain a good CPU operating temperature, even under high loads. This box is a little pricey, but I'm happy with it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well made case
*by O***C on May 13, 2025*

This is my favorite rpi case. I use it for my firewall and server. I use a serving one for a nas. I’ve had it on for several months, and I never hear the fan. I like the fact that it’s metal and well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original version of X825-C2 is really good, the newer C6 variant is not that great.
*by T***7 on December 20, 2019*

This is a short review for two different models of this X825 case the C2 and C6. I am using the X735 power management cooling board and the X825 2.5" HDD USB3.1 expansion board with a 5400RPM 1TB Samsung HDD on both builds. You do not necessarily need to buy the 5V 4A $20 PSU from Geekworm. I have it and it works great btw. I had no issue powering these with the official raspberry pi power supply (5.1V 3A) or the CanaKit PSU (5.1V 3.5A). they are both high quality PSUs. I would get the 5V4A if you are overclocking and running things off the USB ports, WiFi, ext hdds etc.X825-C2 Case:This thing is great! Nice quiet, low energy, portable Plex server. My RPi4B is overclocked to 2.1GHz and the X735 keeps it under 60C at full load. 30-36C idle. Raspberry Pi 4Bs make really great Plex servers btw, move all the logs and transcoding dirs to tempfs. From my testing it can handle 1-2 transcodes pretty well. I use a FireTV 4K for local direct play. Works great highly recommended. Case is well ventilated keeping the HDD and pi4 cool. Setting up the scripts to get the X735 and momentary switch working was easy, assuming you are experienced with Linux. Only had to modify a few lines in the provided .sh file. There are even some forks floating around on github that are updated for the X735. This case originally arrived with a slightly warped lid that didn't fit quite right, fixed it with a rubber mallet lol. I'm not to picky, but for a $30 case there could be some better quality control. 2.4GHz wifi definitely does not work, have WiFi+ Bluetooth disabled anyway. 5GHz works just ok. For my use case I am using the Ethernet port.X825-C6 Case:I was so impressed I bought another, unfortunately it is entirely different than the one I ordered before. From the same listing! I was surprised to find out there is no mSD card slot cutout on the front of the case, like the previous X825-C2 case I bought. My fault though I should have read the listing again rather than assume it was the same case. The C6 has less holes for heat dispattion on the top and back of the case. Not really a huge deal. Case is slightly wider to accommodate the slightly protruding mSD card.Case also arrived with a significant warp on the left side. Nothing a little elbow grease can't fix. Although I still can't use this for it's intended purpose since I am swapping SD cards all the time: breaking, tinkering, hacking, overclocking, testing various Linux distros for RPi etc. I will probably swap it with the C2 case running my Plex server, since that mSD is rarely needed to be removed. I'm still annoyed that I have to disassemble the entire thing to get to the mSD card if it fails or I break something that requires an external fix.
