- Argon ONE V5 Case Only for Raspberry Pi 5 | Raspberry Pi 5 Aluminum Case, Expandable up to Dual M.2 NVME Drives, Built-in DAC with Microphone, Dual HDMI Port, 30mm Fan

This is a really nice case that does all that is promised. The optional Argon ONE V5 M.2 NVMe Expansion Board its beautifully and is easy to install. The instructions could be more clear. The only problem I had was with the Argon Industria M.2 NVME M-Key PoE+ Hat. The hat works, but when it is installed it is a bit too high for the case to close properly. According to Argon Support, installation spacers are not to be used. However, the GPIO connector on my board is what makes the board too high, not spacers. To keep the board parallel to the cover, spacers need to be used on the screw posts. Support saw the spacers in the photo I sent and jumped to the wrong conclusion. I also sent a photo of the GPIO connector end, but apparently the tech did not notice there were no spacers there and it fit tight to the Pi5. The cover can still be screwed on, but the opposite side can not be engaged in the slot needed to hold that side. Therefore, it looks funky. But it works well!

The case is snug for the wiring, a tight fit for the Pi/Daughterboard, but a very nice, trim look. You want to mate the Pi to the Daughterboard, and snuggly. If it's not as tight as the pictures, the board may not deliver power, thus avoiding boot. John w/CS support sent the pics, they are not mine, but HIGHLY appreciated. You can see the board almost smacks the NIC housing when you put it together. Do that and test it before putting it together. I'm sure I've always done it that way. Bp

Super easy install! Used for Raspi 5 network server. 24/7 on time. Cool running. Very happy.

Pretty good quality, the case is quite sturdy! Also the button to turn on it is definitely useful.

Very nice Raspberry Pi case. The aluminum feels nice to the touch and it has some heft, bulk to it that makes it feel sturdy and protective. The passive heatsink is awesome too so that you can run it at max without any worries. The case is a bit tight so you won't be able to do much of any modding not that it is necessary here because it has all the outlets and ports you need in a thoughtful arrangment. 8/10 I would recommend it. I hope this review is helpful.

The case is well built and fits together perfect. Unfortunately, the board is DOA. I've tried four different power supplies including a 27w dedicated power supply, and none will power up my Pi while attached to the board. All four will power the Pi by itself.

I got this case because of the expandable accessories. The build quality is great which is what I expected based off previous argon cases I’ve bought. I currently have mine with their zigbee module and gpio zwave radio. So far so good.

Hands down one of the most solid and well-designed products within the pi industry. If anything, id ask for a small pinout within the case for personal usb designs.
