Raspberry Pi 5 Case, Aluminum Mini Tower Case with Fan and Colour Changing Ambient Light (Silver)

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

Had a Pi 5 for a while but never set it up due to still using the Pi 4. Seen this case and as it was Black Friday and the M.2 hat was also on sale decided to see if it could all fit into one case and it does. Attached photos to the review to help people if they ever try to do the same or are looking for something similar. Obviously this requires modification to the case by using a drill to make some holes for the mounting the M.2 hat, which also comes with its own hardware as it should normally live on top of the Pi 5. Instructions were easy to follow for the assembly of the unit as per the manufacturer intended, so in the future would hope they can add these holes officially so my poor drilling doesn’t affect people OCD from the photos. Pi 5 has not been stressed inside of the unit so cannot say anything about the thermals, but the unit did have some heat after some light use but it is known that the Pi 5 can kick out some heat. Good quality product and can recommend for anyone wanting a small PC looking case for their Pi 5.

Love Love Love this case.. really easy to install, instructions are on the the photos of this item in case you need them. I managed to install the M.2 Hat with NVME also.. its not screwed in but it is perfectly secure enough with the lugs against the front wall and the cable connected. Perfect housing for my Home Assistant project!!

Get yourself some CPU heat transfer compound to go between to two metal heatsinks - for some reason, none is supplied. Other than that, it's a great wee case.

Easy to assemble and looks fantastic

Quality product and holds every slice of my pie well. I might get a second one!

Looks gorgeous, led lights in the fan make it look super. Comes with small screwdriver and nice instructions, enjoyed putting it together.

Cheap and tacky

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.

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.

Para quem conhece muito prático e fácil de montar

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.

Un buon prodotto. Facile a montare e divertente.
