## Description

desertcart.com: Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Basic Starter Kit with Fan Cooled Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Case (Black Case) : Electronics

Review: A PI 4 in a nice case and soft case! - It was easy to assemble, the heat sinks and fan are a nice touch in a solid aluminum case. I set up the the fan option to turn on at 60C and even when doing heavy stuff like pishrink on the pi itself the fan only kicks on every once in a while for like 15 seconds or so, works well. We all know the PI, this is a nice overall kit for sure.
Review: This is the only kit I buy and recommend to others. - 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.

## 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 Model B comes equipped with 8GB 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit with excellent basic case.

Good kit with easy setup. Excellent case; no overheating issues noted. This is the second kit I've ordered. The first one is over a year old with no problems noted.
