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 8GB of RAM, which is the same amount of RAM or more RAM then 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.

  • Great starter kit for the Raspberry Pi 4
Size: 4GB Color: Black
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 ... show more

  • Well Written Instructions
Size: 8GB Color: Black
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! ... show more

  • A great kit for a reasonable price
Size: 4GB Color: Black
Everything fit together as it should. Unfortunately, I can't rate the quality of the assembly instructions. I've put enough of these together to make the instructions unnecessary. It is a very nice kit and should be easy to put together even for a first-timer. Also, the fan is very quite.

  • Running Home Assistant
Size: 8GB Color: Black
Exactly what I expected and runs Home Assistant flawlessly. Since it is has its OS on a micro SD I did power it from an uninterruptible power supply but I already had that. Sometimes if those Micro SDs get hit with a power outage they aren't happy when they come back. But all is well. Nice unit in a small and well made package. You don't even know it's there unless you know. ... show more

  • Great case, mediocre fan, but USB-C power cable arrived DOA
Size: 8GB Color: Black
The case itself is definitely the highlight of this kit: very sturdy, no wobbling of any of the internals, and looks great compared to the thousands of tacky/cheap cases on the market for the RPi 4B. There seems to be plenty of access to fish in a few cables for GPIO, which is always nice. The whole kit arrived very well-packed and on-time. The fan didn't impress me. It IS silent, and I didn't have any problems with cables bumping into the blades, but I couldn't feel any airflow at all with it on. I've used a few Pi fans in the last few years, and even the ones which seemed more like gimmicks than actual cooling devices at least pushed enough airflow to tingle my skin. I'll have to keep an eye on temps and see how it goes. The micro HDMI to HDMI adapter is a nice touch. It worked out of the box for me and saved me some money buying another one. The USB-C power adapter with on/off switch was something I was really looking forward to having included, but unfortunately mine arrived dead. I have backup official power adapters for the Pi 4B since this is such a common problem among aftermarket adapters, unfortunately. Enough to knock a star off for me, but not enough to completely spoil the Day 1 experience. Had to snap a pic of the sleek matte-black case in its temporary spot next to my Beelink media server while there was still a little daylight left coming through the windows :) ... show more
