I see stuff like this and it makes me think of when I was a kid wondering how computers would be decades in the future. And now we have legitimate computer boards that can run full desktop operating systems, and be used for normal computer work and the entire "desktop" setup can fit in your hand. I think people that were just starting to make home computers in the late 70's to early 80's would've crapped their pants upon seeing something like this. On top of that, I saw you did a video recently of a keychain style case for the Pi Zero 2 (Flirc case), and how that entire thing can be used as a legit computer in a pinch. It's just so crazy how we have real computers that are so small and compact. I have a 256GB flash drive I carry in my pocket all the time, and it is basically a full sized hard drive with tons of installed software that can be used immediately on any computer I plug it into. I know I'm going on a tangent, but all this stuff is just so cool.
Your comment reminds me of many futuristic stuff I saw in many old movies and cartoons. Supercomputers that covered entire walls, floppy disks still being used, just to name a few...
When I was 6, I remember seeing my older brothers Windows XP gaming rig, playing DOOM 3; My little mind was blown about how this big hunk of metal could do such a thing. now I am 15 and have a love for computers.
Is no one gonna talk about how the box says Electro Castle, he says Electro Cookie, the title says Electro Kitty, and the description says Electro Kitten?? LOL
Alanna, what’s wrong with 3D printed cases. The power of owning a 3DP is amazing. Prototyping something like a part for a project has its advantages. You don’t need to wait for someone else to make it and DIY projects get done faster.
@@NewAgeDIY my friend, 3D printing is awesome, what isn't awesome is the usual "prototype finish" stuff that's been 3D printed has, this looks a lot more high quality, and that's what I was looking for
Most Pie Users want cases with 1 or more 3.5 or 2.5 Slots but Case makers dont care, they make only the cheap useless cases without slots. Only Geekworm makes some with HDD/SSD Slots but the 2.5 Slot dont eat all 2.5 HDD, so u can only put the little 2.5HDD into the cases. Hopefully Pie5 get Sata Port so that Cases get automatic a place for big HDD/SSD.
for this one, if you're creative enough, you can mount the ssd on the bottom since there are four screw holes on the bottom that fits with the x862 ssd adapter.
@@stefans.3940 I can see a Pi-NAS, but it doesn't need beauty. I can see a low powered, portable desktop but I would struggle to need more than 128 gb. What do you have in mind that requires a beautiful case and 2.5" drive bays?
This really looks better than the 3D printed one!... By this days do you still think that buy a RASPBERRY PI 4 is totally worth it? Or just wait for the new release?
An Argon One for CM4 with real HDMI and a SATA M.2 drive that doesn't need a clunky hanging USB port would be great. If they can make it do DisplayPort and 30W 15v PD 3.0 pass-through over USB Type-C, that would be friggin amazing.
Thank you for what you do I started to get into emulations and lead me to raspberry pi building for gaming as well as single board computers for what I use em for
I'd much rather use a small CNC machined aluminum heat sink case like from KKSB or even a Flirt case. It keeps the form factor much smaller. If I'm going with a bigger case, it would be the Argon ONE M.2 case to get full size HDMI outputs and add an M.2 SATA SSD.
Thanks for your videos. Technical work is excellent. Appreciate comparisons in speed, costs. Look and feel are also important features ... thanks again.
Ok, the case has me interested BUT the RGB ring, the awful Green plexiglass panels are terrible. Replace the panels wouldn’t be that hard to do. The OLED display could be mounted at the front running the cables through the camera cable slot. A 3D printed case for display could be used. Add a Ice Tower fan I also wonder if a M.2 can be added in the basement area. My collection of Pi cases are taking up 2 shelf with different ones a bought and printed.
In the next months I guess we'll have many arylic or plexiglass panes around that were used for separation shield. I'm aiming for that to be used in my lasercutter for exactly this reason : sidepanels
@@MrLexhoya yes! My next purchase will indeed be a laser cutter. The prices are coming down for small format models or I could just build one. Anyone have a built plan they can share?
This would be great, if it was actually possible to get your hands on a Pi 4. Here in west Europe the options are: pay a scalper 100+ euro's or wait for an unknown amount of time for new stock.
Oh this is really sweet! Now I just need a Windows 98 Retro Gaming PC build for retropie or something. someone please tell me theres a windows 98 retro gaming pc build out there for the Pi :D
Hi EtaPrime, first congrats for your channel. I like it so much :) I have a question. What is the keyboard that your are using atm? I like so much. THX!!!
Love how everyone is stealing that lockdown 3D printed case I just hope 52pi bought the right to sell it because I remember when it was first made about a year ago
So I have a pi3 and tried loading the desktop on it. It is horribly slow. Like not usable. Have you or anyone have that problem. I did the mouse fix but it's still unusable. I'm guessing I may need to get an older version
Don't get me wrong ETA, great video as always, but my opinion on the product itself is: So much potential wasted. Come on! That "huge" chunk of aluminum not being used to add passive cooling (at least), no daughter board for rerouting HDMI and power, also, no power button. A lot of empty space not being able to accommodate an SSD... It's like expecting too much for $29.99, but at the same time, $29.99 is too much for what they are offering . It's a sure pass for me.
@@MoobsAlwaysFumbles on extreme volumes, from China. What kind of volumes you think this will sell and do you think thise volumes would allow such economies of scale? No...
It is possible to use big cooler with that case? On amazon someone writed that you can use ice tower cooler. Or its possible left on your raspberry Geekworm (joy-it) Raspberry Pi 4 Armor Case inside this case :) ? Will it fit inside?
This is a Sweet case; I have 2 ArgonOne M.2 Cases that are awesome; I am getting Slow Web browsing, Incredibly Slow, in TwisterOS; I cant figure it out (Throwing that on there in case anyone has Ideas)
I don't get it. Either make a case that's small or a case that can house a 2.5" drive, but zero usefulness having something inbetween. Just my opinion, but a pointless exercise.
I cannot think what kind of power supply would fit in there, your average phone charger is about the size of the Pi 4 itself and considering you can pretty much run a Pi 4 using a portable battery I don't think not having an internal power supply is that much of a deal
Omg first he doesn't like the 3D printed case from before now he doesn't like the LED hat. My god. No one is up to his standards huh? Well, Can't wait to see the commercially available case he is going to release with all the things he wants done right. What's that? He isn't going to do the right thing and release something that does all the things he wants and he is just going to complain and complain? Huh. You don't say.

Box and manual says electro cookie? But the kitty/Kitten Yea I dunno. Lol
desc actually says Electo Kitten
Electro Cutter
I like the fan on the side because it blows cooler air across everything on the Pi and not just the CPU.
this is the one I ordered ... replaced the giant heat sink with an Ice Tower cooler -- works fine ....
Finally, somebody made a tiny "gaming" PC case for the Pi that isn't 3d printed

@@NewAgeDIY my friend, 3D printing is awesome, what isn't awesome is the usual "prototype finish" stuff that's been 3D printed has, this looks a lot more high quality, and that's what I was looking for
2 things for this to be perfect
1. flipping fan, Positive pressure 4 the win!
2. goldpin sockets instead of pins
What about stock on the pi
Hoot! Thanks for the video ETA. Keep them coming.
No provision to mount an SSD inside. Why do these cases fail to provide such a basic need? Hanging an SSD off the side makes a beautiful case ugly.
You nailed it. But a M.2 drive would fit if the right IO board was used.
I would want room for an SSD or m.2 drive, and full size HDMI ports if I was going to use it as some kind of desktop PC.
Most Pie Users want cases with 1 or more 3.5 or 2.5 Slots but Case makers dont care, they make only the cheap useless cases without slots. Only Geekworm makes some with HDD/SSD Slots but the 2.5 Slot dont eat all 2.5 HDD, so u can only put the little 2.5HDD into the cases.

Worth it; I bought one yesterday
Worth it. Nobody knows when the 5 is going to drop. And it's not like the PI 4 is going to be useless just because there is a successor.
I find it strange that none of these cases have a version with a power button.
I find it strange that there are no stocks on pis
@@onion_____ Stocks?
buy a power supply with a button
I really like these things ☺️ they’re perfect for a little desk space to check emails and browse the web or print documents.
An Argon One for CM4 with real HDMI and a SATA M.2 drive that doesn't need a clunky hanging USB port would be great. If they can make it do DisplayPort and 30W 15v PD 3.0 pass-through over USB Type-C, that would be friggin amazing.
That neon green though....
Thank you for what you do I started to get into emulations and lead me to raspberry pi building for gaming as well as single board computers for what I use em for
that tall fin heatsink look interesting
No Electro Kitty SSD mount?
Going to add the oled display to my pi case
Water cool that thing!

The case would be perfect for the indiedroid nova
Nice background at the end of video
Why ETAPrime!!!!…. Here you go again posting content that makes me buy more tech goodies!! 😂 great video and great screen mod!!!
This one looks really cool.
yo ETA, whats that keyboard?
Nuphy Air 75
Thanks for your videos. Technical work is excellent. Appreciate comparisons in speed, costs. Look and feel are also important features ... thanks again.
@ETA
Thanks for reviewing this. I like it!
Uh. Off topic but What’s that keyboard in the thumbnail?
Nuphy Air 75
Amazing video, like always
I got one last week, it is solid.
I really like this, the green gives out a Kool Vibez. 💯👌🏽✌🏽💯
ohh i have seen it in Amazon for a while waiting for a review 😂 now looks better after your review ✌🏼
This mini tower pc looks a lot better than the last one you did (3D printed one), and the fan position is better too! 😎👍✨
Cool lookin' case! If only I had a Pi4...
Not sure if you keep up with this case or not, but it now comes with clear and grey tinted plexi sides.
Ok, the case has me interested BUT the RGB ring, the awful Green plexiglass panels are terrible. Replace the panels wouldn’t be that hard to do.
The OLED display could be mounted at the front running the cables through the camera cable slot. A 3D printed case for display could be used.
Add a Ice Tower fan

PlexiGlass is a brand name of acrylic.
I so wish the side with the pointless led had mounting screw holes for an exhaust fan....
Plexi glass is just a trade name for acrylic, just like Lexan is to polycarbonate.
Nice job, just need provisions for small SSD and you are set. i like this better for a print server case.
Hi, thanx for the Video👍
Is it for you an option to show/Install an power button (safe shutdown) for this case?
Greetz.
Will you be doing a video on the Odyssey x86 V2? Your reviews are always informative and honest, thanks for what you do.
What a cool looking case.
Out of curiosity, what keyboard are you using? And great video as always, hoping Raspberry Pi 4 becomes available anytime soon again
Nuphy Air 75
Can u or can u not be able to add one of these ElectroCookie Raspberry Pi 4 Dual Power Cooling Station to the Pizen. Just checking.
Very cool! Would a M.2 drive fit below the Pie in this case ? Thanks
Good value for 30$
This would be great, if it was actually possible to get your hands on a Pi 4. Here in west Europe the options are: pay a scalper 100+ euro's or wait for an unknown amount of time for new stock.
Pihut bro
I bought it in January 2020 with a Set shortly after it was sold out for a while.
I'm your big fan from India
Wow niceeeee thanks for showing
Id complain about this one too....its only half aluminum and the argone cases are way better
ETA Prime: great new case
instantly sells out lol Amazon should put you on payroll to promote Pi stuff lol
Oh this is really sweet! Now I just need a Windows 98 Retro Gaming PC build for retropie or something. someone please tell me theres a windows 98 retro gaming pc build out there for the Pi :D
Hi EtaPrime, first congrats for your channel. I like it so much :)
I have a question. What is the keyboard that your are using atm? I like so much. THX!!!
Bump i need this awnser as well! Keyboard looks slick
yo aya neo 4800 video where???
Video is awesome bro. May I know the keyboard which is used in the video
Your Ryzen 7 pro 4750 SFF you Build you did a while back. I was thinking about doing that build. Do you think it could run Liftoff on Steam?
I was the 1000th liker 😌 feeling happy 😊
Does anyone know which keyboard he is using? I like it and am in need of a new one myself.
Love how everyone is stealing that lockdown 3D printed case I just hope 52pi bought the right to sell it because I remember when it was first made about a year ago
is it a 1:1 replica? otherwise it would not be possible to secure rights other than the design not the concept.. thankfully
Love that there is no stock on the pi
So I have a pi3 and tried loading the desktop on it. It is horribly slow. Like not usable. Have you or anyone have that problem. I did the mouse fix but it's still unusable. I'm guessing I may need to get an older version

That case should be like $5-10. $40 is the price on budget ATX cases. Way too high of a markup....
You couldn't buy the materials for $10
you could buy the material for pennies....on volume
@@MoobsAlwaysFumbles on extreme volumes, from China. What kind of volumes you think this will sell and do you think thise volumes would allow such economies of scale? No...
Can you add the oled status script to an existing retropi image?
You would have better cooling if the fan was set to an intake instead of an exhaust.
Anyone know what's the name of the keyboard in the video?
I've been trying to find a good wireless and that one looks interesting.
What Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is that!?
What keyboard are you using in the video?
If only it looked like a miniature beige ATX case.
Will it run the matrix returns
What's the name of keyboard @ETAPRIME?
It is possible to use big cooler with that case? On amazon someone writed that you can use ice tower cooler. Or its possible left on your raspberry Geekworm (joy-it) Raspberry Pi 4 Armor Case inside this case :) ? Will it fit inside?
I have a Pi 4 with ice tower and I am going to put it in this case. I already saw a picture from someone who did it so I guess it is fitting.
is it possible to overlock to 2.2 all core?
2.0 gives better results and never crashes. : ) For me
This is a Sweet case; I have 2 ArgonOne M.2 Cases that are awesome;
I am getting Slow Web browsing, Incredibly Slow, in TwisterOS; I cant figure it out (Throwing that on there in case anyone has Ideas)
I can run w10 on this?
What keyboard is that with the different colored keys?
If you mean the keyboard at 7:07, it looks like a Nuphy Air keyboard, not sure which one.
Whats is this keyboard?
Nuphy Air 75
How long until we get a micro water cooled Pi case 🤔
Sooooo... What would you even do with one of these?
what keyboard is it?
When you say it's a desktop style tower case I was expecting the PCB to be mounted vertically, you know, like desktop tower cases
What keyboard is that?
would the ice tower cooler fit inside this case?
Yes. I am going to put an Ice Tower in it because my Pi already has one. I just need a closed Case to keep the dust away.
screw the heat sink.. the RGB!!!!111oneeleven fan helps with additional fps
Can I put a Pi inside?
Since the dislike number is gone I now ratio the views to likes. It just not the same but it's something.
I don't get it. Either make a case that's small or a case that can house a 2.5" drive, but zero usefulness having something inbetween. Just my opinion, but a pointless exercise.
Can you game on it
Don't like these cases not having the power supply inside them like desktop pc's...
I cannot think what kind of power supply would fit in there, your average phone charger is about the size of the Pi 4 itself and considering you can pretty much run a Pi 4 using a portable battery I don't think not having an internal power supply is that much of a deal
it feels rippy-offy to take the other case manufacturers idea about the led and put it on the different case. . .
😁😁😁👍👍👍
Omg first he doesn't like the 3D printed case from before now
he doesn't like the LED hat. My god. No one is up to his standards huh?
Well, Can't wait to see the commercially available case he is going to release
with all the things he wants done right. What's that? He isn't going to do the right
thing and release something that does all the things he wants and he is just going
