RPi 5 Mini Tower Case (Silver)

I’m genuinely impressed with the ElectroCookie Raspberry Pi 5 aluminum mini tower case. It nails the two things I care about most with a Pi 5 setup: keeping temps under control and making the build look like a finished, professional little machine on the desk. What I love about it 1) It looks premium on a desk The aluminum tower design makes the Pi 5 feel less like a bare board and more like a purpose-built mini computer. It’s compact, clean, and has that “mini workstation” vibe that a lot of plastic cases don’t pull off. 2) Active cooling that actually matters for the Pi 5 The Pi 5 can run hot under load, and this case handles that reality. The included fan helps keep things stable during heavier tasks and longer sessions—exactly what you want if you’re running services, using faster storage, or pushing the board beyond light tinkering. 3) Solid protection + better build confidence Once installed, everything feels secure and protected. It’s the kind of case that makes the whole setup feel more durable and “daily-usable,” not just a project sitting exposed. 4) The color-change is a fun bonus, not the main reason to buy The lighting is a nice touch if you like a little flair, but it doesn’t feel like the case is relying on RGB to sell itself—the fundamentals (materials, fit, cooling) are the real value here. Quick tip Like any Pi case with active cooling, take a minute during setup to route everything cleanly and make sure you’ve got the Pi 5 on a proper power supply—once you do, this becomes a really satisfying, stable enclosure. its SUPER quiet, i mean like no noise! and for the value of what you get it just looks AMAZING! The power button is super ingenious its design is perfect! using a material that passes the led color from the pie through it so its green when on and red when off. Bottom line If you want a case that feels like an upgrade—not just a cover—this is a great pick. It’s sleek, sturdy, runs cooler, and makes the Raspberry Pi 5 feel like a legit mini desktop.

Plenty of working space inside for mini projects I got like 4 hats into it. I repurposed it and didn’t go with their original fan design but it was height I was looking for and a little working room. Plus able to build outside case and slide in was easy. Looks sharp and my little AI pi works great. The sides were great for adding a little usb fan 40mm with the classic fan on board and the 40mm attached to the “glass” stays under 40c most time. Look at 40mm USB fan 4pack for the money but the Pano-mounts get fast delivery to go with this. I’m sure if you are just looking for the jazzy style though the fan and heat sinks in this unit seem great. I just like the roomy design inside and still the class small outside look. M2 posts attach the fan great to the sides. Get yourself assortment pack if you plan on modifying things. I’m certain it works great as is though for many people. Thank you.

Excellent chassis. Easy to assemble. Fit the M.2 HAT which is a must add to this rig. The 90 degree header that exposes the I/O makes this clean yet extendable. Nice work ElectroCookie! What’s next? ( no worries guys I am not affiliated with this brand. I paid and just sharing) later R

Received this item quickly and it fit my RPi 5 perfectly. Pros: 1. As described in pics and descriptions 2. The construction feels solid and like something that will last a while 3. Perfect fit for my Raspberry Pi 5 16GB 4. I love that the fan does not kick on until it is needed and the color transition is a great feature. 5. While assembling takes a bit of time, the instruction manuals are clear Cons: None of these are an issue but thought I would note a couple 1. It would be nice for this to include a power supply as one is not included. 2. The GPIO/Pin sticker is a bit hard to get in the correct position where it lines up with the actual pins. An improvement I would suggest would be to install this during manufacturing. There is an imprint of the pin assignments already but hard to read so the sticker is nice. 3. Lastly, I wish there were more room for the SDCARD to be installed. I dont have the fattest fingers in the world but I had trouble getting the card installed due to limited space. I had to use a flathead screw driver to finally get it in the slot.

Very easy to assemble and definitely gives the Pi a secure, attractive housing with room for accessories. I wish I would have ordered the model that comes with the HAT for an bootable external SSD because I ended up adding it on after. The LEDs on the fan are not super bright or obnoxious which was a plus for me. The only design flaw for me was that adding a camera is difficult. Not only do you have to open the whole case again and pull the board out, you have to remove the HAT to get to the camera slot, the ribbon had to bend and flip all over the place to have any hope of reaching an access slot in the side or front of the case. Most stock connectors probably would not be long enough and there is no obvious mounting point for the camera on the exterior, which meant the camera module was just flopping around and getting tipped over. Seems like there is a lot of unused vertical space inside the case and increasing the space to add connectors to the Pi would have been helpful. In the end, I swapped for a usb camera module that was plug and play and much easier to connect and disconnect if I change my mind or use it on another project. All in all, a great solution that was easy to assemble and keeps your install neat and tidy as well as cool.

Really great DIY kit with good instructions and extra screws! Took about 20 min to get it all together and working!

Very cool case! Looks great on my desk and does a nice job keeping the Pi cool. Also, the shipping was super quick! A++ Be aware that all the parts and fasteners are very tiny. :)

Queda linda la Raspberry Pi 5 incluso se ve mejor que en las fotos, vienen todos los elementos y la tornillería, pero solo un fallo de diseño, la separación entre las partes del disipador y que no venga un poquito de paste termica u otro pad termico para que se transfiera bien el calor entre ambas partes. fuera de eso esta bien. en mi caso el ventilador se prende a partir de los 45 °C pero eso creo que ya es por parte de las Raspberry, los leds están lindos.

Para quem conhece muito prático e fácil de montar

Nice little case and very colourful on a winter's night.

This case is awesome, and looks like a gaming PC rig but much smaller. It is easy to put together and has a good instruction manual explaining the process in easy to follow steps. The heatsink is very large and should make over clocking easier as the temperature should remain low enough to not throttle the cpu/gpu. I haven’t tested this but I run a mild overclock on batocera without any noticeable issues. I would recommend this case as it look really cool.

Very well packaged, clear instructions for quite a lot of assembly with small parts, so if you need glasses get those ready before you start. Comes with a tiny screwdriver so no tools needed. I took my time and it was still only 30-40 minutes. It is worth it - it has been intelligently designed throughout, with little rubber mounts for the fan . I am really impressed. I think this has added years to the life of my new Pi 5 just keeping the heat down.
