SSD Cluster Case for Raspberry Pi
The screws do not fit perfectly. The screw threads are too wide.
Once in place everything looks okayish. But the assembling is terrible.

SSD Cluster Case for Raspberry Pi
I wanted this unit to house 3 or 4 Raspis which are all connected to SDR's providing aeronautical traffic feeds to FlightRadar24, FlightAware and the Open Glider Network (PilotAware) safety/conspicuity) information. The case was easy to assemble and is working well. It has sufficient space at the back which was important and one of the Pi's has a board with an external SMA aerial socket pointing at the fans. There is room at the back for a right-angled SMA elbow to route the aerial cable out to the side. The only assembly issue is that some of the chassis screws are very thin but the holes they go into were slightly oversized, or the threads badly cut so the screws did not grip in the thread (even applying the lightest of torque to the screws - which is essential). Once fully assembled even the looser screws do not fall out in practice. The slide-in trays are easy to use. The fans are a useful addition although a variable speed fan controller is highly desirable as a 5v direct feed to the fans tend to be audible. Overall very happy with this unit.

Great little case, it fits well with the official POE+ hat. One suggestion though if you're using the exhaust fans, connect them to the 3.3v as highlighted in another comment as they are way noisier at 5v. It seems to make little difference in temperature, with 5v I was averaging about 37°c and at 3.3v I was averaging about 40°c. That was with 4x8GB models with POE+ hats.

SSD Cluster Case for Raspberry Pi
This SSD Cluster Case was perfect to replace my existing PI stack. I couldn't easily clean the dust off the PIs in the old one, and this one allows individual removal without a screwdriver and taking the whole stack apart. Very speedy and efficient delivery...quicker than the site actually estimated.
Very happy indeed.

SSD Cluster Case for Raspberry Pi
Bought this case to move my pi's into a single case and would definitely recommend this.
- The build quality is very good and feels sturdy.
- It was very simple to build.
- The trays are easy to open install the pi's on along with an SSD below.
- The thermals on my pi's are very good with the bigger fans blowing air over the pi's and idling at around 35c
Some minor issues I ran into when using this were:
- I have the new PoE hat on one of my pi's and found that the screw hole on the standoffs where you mount the pi to the tray were unusable if using nylon stand-offs as these would simply break if trying to screw them in. (These were from my previous case the pi was in so I had to purchase some brass standoffs).
- The 5V fans are a little loud but plugging these into the 3V header fixed this issue for me and the thermals stay around 35c. I did have to purchase a jumper wire to do this though.

It's the best cluster case solution for Raspberry Pi. It gives easy access to every Raspberry Pi, without the need to disassemble the entire case, and the fact that has SSD slots it's a plus

I like it. Quite sturdy and feels well made.
The thumbscrews are a little bit difficult to use the first time, but after a little bit of action they get easier to use.
It looks like there is the possibility to screw multiple of these together to make a higher stack.
Looks like there is a bit of allowance (when not using an SSD in the slow above) for a low HAT to fit in too.
