Examples of Hardware Set Up
Removable Cover for Easy Set Up - Long and Short Spacers for Gap between Cooler and HAT Providing Space for Airflow
Removable Cover: Once the cover is removed, you have sufficient space to set up the cooler and install the HAT/add-on on top without struggling with less space and narrow angles.
Easy-to-Modify Side Walls: The side walls have flexible and removable slots. You can modify the side wall to fit the connectors of the addon or HAT according to your requirements. Only a gentle push with the screwdriver is enough to remove the slots. There is no need to make special arrangements for modification.
Long and Short Spacers: Included Female-Male, M2.5 Hexagon Standoffs (4x 18mm and 4x 20mm) accommodate HATs with both long and short GPIO headers. Since you can mount the active cooler and HAT at the same time inside the case, the long spacers leave space between the cooler and the HAT for proper airflow.
Access to a 40 GPIO cable on the side allows for easy connectivity with other devices and peripherals, simplifying setup and integration into various projects.
Raspberry Pi 5, Addon Boards, Cooler, HATs, DIN Rail Mount, Camera Holder, and Electronics are NOT included.
Included Items:
- KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5
- Stackable Header
- 4x Male-Female M2.5 Hexagon Standoffs (18mm)
- 4x Male-Female M2.5 Hexagon Standoffs (20mm)

Compact with room for the Pimroni nvme duo board. The all aluminum case helps with heat dissipation and protects the Raspberry Pi 5. I’ve purchased two of these for two different end goal needs. I highly recommend this case.Bought another with the geekpi Poe+ hat with nvme and fits perfectly. Great case

An excellent case for the Pi, my only beef was that I already had the HAT mounted and had to pull the pi apart to fiddle around with the screws to get it mounted properly in the case. The standoff screws that came with and are needed to mount into this case properly are a touch too long for the HAT that I have, and the ribbon between the Pi and the HAT was a little shorter than it needed to be for the standoffs. The HAT is a tiny bit longer than the case allows for, so I can't screw the top of the case closed on the side where the M2 screws down - which is OK for me because I swap out the M2 drive regularly and it just means less screwing to worry about.

Love these cases for what they are, that said, with the pi 5, things are going to get really toasty if you don't leave the sides off. Active cooler simply can't do it's job in there. I like the case things, well made.

The case is OK but it completely breaks raspi WiFi. So if you need WiFi, pick a plastic case or do some hacking.

I was not able to properly close the box with an nvme top, it was a useless order for me.It doesn't properly fit with a rasberry pi and a hat added.the screw and poles are not providing a good solution to attach a nice top.

el producto llego bien , el unico detalle es que la placa que compre para la memoria nvm trae el tornillo de agarre para la memoria algo mas grueso de lo que pienso esperaba la caja y tuve que forzarlo un poco en esa zona , de lo demas todo muy bien para que tengan cuidado

I had my Pi in the official case, but the case top didn’t fit properly with the M.2 hat. I bought this case due to the extra space. This is a very sturdy case and the fitment was perfect. I had no issues removing any of the screws to disassemble the case. To assemble, I slid the M.2 hat just enough to expose the standoffs below, then tightened them with a 4.5mm socket. It was then a simple matter to screw the hat to the standoffs and reassemble the case. I never had to remove the ribbon cable between the Pi and the M.2 hat to install. I’m very happy with this case.

Nice and sturdy, I think it will work nicely. It was a little tricky to install the pi with the M.2 SSD hat, but not a big deal. Also the standoffs supplied are a little taller than the ones that came with the hat, but no I’ll effects that I’ve found so far.

Its got loads of room and the PI 5 fits perfectly.Beware of returned items though as I bought this, expecting it to be brand new and was shocked to find rounded off screws and two of the built-in case stand offs with headless broken off screws in them. I have still managed to use the case but was a little disappointed on that front

I like the design concept, but the execution left a lot to be desired. It came fully assembled (not including the camera mount), so a full disassembly was necessary to put the board inside. The main problem with that was the screws were very poor quality and the threads of many (4 to be precise) stripped off despite using the supplied screwdriver and the only option was to use force to shear them off (which warped the metal).I also had an M2 NVMe HAT that made it nearly impossible to screw the board into the case let alone access the pcie port to ensure proper attachment of the ribbon. Eventually I just left one entire side of the case removed and (utilizing a surprising amount of force) pulled the tabs on the opposite side out so the GPIO pins were accessible. Only problem with that was my accessible working area was so small that I couldn't immediately tell the HAT was only sitting on one row of GPIO pins. By the time I realized my error, the time and aggravation it would have taken to fix it just wasn't worth the effort.The camera attachment pictured came weeks late and wasn't compatible with the camera I had (though the description led me to believe otherwise), so I had to get creative. Although it theoretically swivels, the provided ribbon cable was too short for any position but straight forward and even then it proved to be too taut/kinked to actually function.All in all, it looks pretty cool, but looks can be deceiving. It was primarily a source of extreme frustration and eventually demoralization.

Looks great cause it is a perfect fit . Due to it being metal durability is of course very high. The ease of assembly though was a bit of a challenge, if you have never built one before

Actualización del comentario con ventilador de 1cm de altura:Le he instalado el ventilador Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM que es de 1cm de altura y 4cm de lado y queda más espacio para ventilar y mejoran las temperaturas comparado con el noctua de 2cm de altura que quedaba muy ajustado con poco espacio para tomar aire. Ver fotos.Los 48mm de altura usables para hats son desde la base del PCB de la rpi5 hasta el techo interno de la caja KKSB.Fijaros en la foto donde van los tornillos del frontal y el trasero ya que la caída del frontal y trasero no es recta en toda su longitud dentro de la caja. Tenedlo en cuenta a la hora de instalar hats del mismo tamaño que la rpi5 y caigan a esa altura de los rebordes hacia adentro de la caja.El logotipo K en el frontal lo hubiera hecho cortado con laser simulando el logo lo que favorecería la ventilación y el wifi ya que queda justo la antena wifi de la rpi5 detrás del logo de KKSB.Excelente caja. Muy contento con la compra.Comentario inicial:Caja de KKSB con 14 rendijas verticales y 9 rendijas horizontales en 3 grupos de 3 en cada lateral.La caja está muy bien construída y luce fantástica.He conseguido meter milagrosamente la siguiente receta:1) Ventilador Noctua NF-A4x20 (4x4cm y 2cm de altura) con los cables adaptados al conector fan de la rpi5.2) 40mm Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5.No es el active-cooler oficial si no uno adaptado a ventiladores de 4cm.3) 52Pi Raspberry Pi 5 N04 M.2 2280 PCIe a NVMe.4) Cable Raspberry Pi 5 PCIE FPC con diferencial 90R Mcuzone de 5cm.5) NVME 2280 con disipador Thermalright M.2 2280 PRO.Sobra menos de 1mm. Toda una suerte. Ver fotos.Yo le hubiera dado a la caja dos rendijas más en la parte trasera una encima de los puertos de conexión y otra un poco más arriba para mejorar la circulación del aire y poder pasar cables desde dentro de la caja hacia atrás.También hubiera puesto 2 agujeros más en el techo para poder poner accesorios en el trasero del techo también.Y lo más importante, 4 mm más de altura sería perfecto y los milagros no serían necesarios.Una obra de arte.48mm de altura usable dentro de la caja.Excelente caja para la rpi5.19 euros a fecha de abril del 2024.
