Features
- KEEP YOUR PROCESSOR COOL: The busier a processor gets the more it heats up, leading to sub-optimal performance. To prevent this common issue, this kit includes an aluminum alloy case with a pre-installed fan. The aluminum alloy actively draws the heat from the pi board, while the fan further cools the board and case. These cooling mechanisms will help push the limits of your processor and increase its flexibility.
- SIZABLE RAM: This Raspberry Pi 4 comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, which is the same amount of RAM or more RAM than many mainstream laptops contain. With 4GB of RAM, your processor will be capable of running retro gaming setups and common computer applications, media players, and much more!
- SIMPLE TO TURN ON & OFF: This kit includes a USB-C Raspberry Pi 4 compatible power supply with an easy-to-use on/off switch that was designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 model to streamline processing.
- IMPROVEMENTS FROM PREVIOUS MODELS: This latest model of the Raspberry Pi 4 offers groundbreaking increases in processor speed, multimedia performance, connectivity, memory, and more! The desktop performance of this model is comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.
- VERSATILE USE: The Raspberry Pi may have a small processor, but it is a highly adaptable little computer that can replace your desktop PC. Its functions range from practical to nostalgic since it can power an ad-blocking server as easily as it can power an outmoded gaming setup. Other uses include but are not limited to printing from non-wireless printers, playing media, making time-lapse videos, and building multiplayer network game servers and motion-capture security systems.

As advertised, this kit has almost everything somebody needs to start doing projects with the Pi. As per the product description, it comes with a case, the Pi itself (I bought the 4 GB RAM model), USB-C power supply, micro HDMI to HDMI converter cable, two heatsinks, and the quickstart guide, all contained within a single plastic bag (all of the important components were in boxes). However, you will still a few more components before you get everything up and running, including: - A HDMI cable for a monitor - A keyboard/mouse for input (I use a Logitech K400+ wireless touch keyboard and it works great) - A micro SD card for memory storage/operating system (recommend at least 8 GBs or more, Raspbian OS will take up 1-5 GBs of space depending on the installation you choose; I currently use a Samsung 32GB U1 MicroSDHC EVO Select Memory Card in my setup) The Raspberry Pi 4 itself is a nifty card-sized computer, and I am currently using it as a personal VPN device (running PiVPN) and PiHole for ad blocking, with future plans for a NAS installation. ------------------ For the rest of the review, I'll try to focus mainly on the components unique to this kit: - For me at least, the included heatsinks DO fit in the case; they were easy to place and the case closed without issues. My Pi runs between 35-40 C on the quieter pin setup with normal operations (including with Chromium browser use and games running) and hovers between 30-35 C when idling. - The case is completely matte black inside and out and seems to be of high quality aluminum, with both the top and lower parts of the shell machined well enough and fits together nicely (it did require a tiny bit of pressure to snap the top/lower parts together after sliding the Pi into place but otherwise no parts on the board are touching the case or fan and sits well inside). The case fan is already in place inside of the top case shell when it arrived, and I have not attempted to remove fan yet. Per customer support, the fan can be removed and replaced with a 30x30 mm fan. - The Vilros branded micro HDMI to HDMI adapter cable included with this kit is adequate for its purpose. Some of the reviews here mention the micro HDMI end of the cable seems to be loose; I thought this was also the case for me too at first until I noticed that you have to push the connector all the way into the port itself for it to seat properly. Once you do this, it seems to be secure and doesn't jiggle at all, and I haven't had any issues with the cable breaking since I bought the kit. I think one of the nicer selling points of this kit are the guide/paperwork included with the kit, especially the quickstart guide. For somebody new to the Pi (myself included), having some decent instructions to point me in the right direction right out of the box was comforting and helped build my confidence in putting everything together and get it up and running (see my pics for some included inserts from the package that might help you readers out). Overall, I feel that this was a worthwhile purchase and I'll make sure to post updates if something happens to any part of the kit or the Pi as I'm using them. Pros: - The included peripherals (HDMI adapter cable, case, fan, heatsinks) are of good build quality (at least for my order) and are adequately priced when bought together as a kit vs separately - Case is strong and well-machined, parts fit inside well enough - Good instructions included in package for Pi newbies Cons: - None at this time

This is a well-done kit, that's simple and quick to put together, and works flawlessly out of the box. I like how the case fits together . . . Stays sufficiently tight to protect itself, and yet I can get back in there if I need to with little trouble. Well-designed. It's a great kit, and a great way to contain this nifty little test-bench computer. Quite Useful!

Truly a great value, it puts other kits to shame (especially CanaKit). For a fair market price you get superior quality products to what others are offering for even higher price points. The solid metal case is way stronger than it realistically needs to be, but strength against physical impacts is never a bad thing to have. I am a tall, heavy person and I can stand on it with my foot and it doesn't even budge. A side feature of the metal case other than it's raw strength is the fact is acts as a passive heatsink in addition to the active cooling provided by the fan. It sucks the heat out of the peripheral ports, further cooling the device down while the provided cooling fan and fins actively cool the main board components. Running a full graphical desktop with MATE/GNOME 2 DE and a 720p YouTube video on Chromium my Pi 4 idles at 45 degrees Celsius, something I never thought possible. The hottest it has ever gotten under full load was 55 degrees Celsius, a seriously impressive number I still have trouble believing in even as I write this review. You're told exactly what to place where with pictures instead of text so it's universal no matter what your language is, but if you can't figure out peel and stick a Raspberry Pi probably isn't the device for you in the first place. The micro HDMI to full size HDMI adapter is well made, none of the usual insert wobble I see on a lot of the cheaper cables. It holds your HDMI cable in so tightly you have to wrestle it back out of there by wiggling it out. Some may see that as a negative but in my eyes that means it's not accidentally disconnecting no matter what happens. The included fan is surprisingly good and quiet. I already own a replacement pack of Pi fans but found them not necessary to use as the included fan is of similar high quality and runs silently at 3.3 volts via GPIO pins. The USB-C power supply provides true RMS rating, no under voltage here. The switch is a nice addition as it didn't originally come with one in earlier revisions. It saves you the port wear of plugging and unplugging your USB-C connector every time you want to power off the device for the day.
