I. Product Overview
A mini "ocean view" case custom-made for the Raspberry Pi 5, featuring 270° panoramic acrylic transparency and a micro-computer aesthetic design. The body adopts an integrated painted metal frame (not aluminum alloy), paired with high-transparency acrylic side panels, offering DIY playability, heat dissipation, and visual lighting effects. Available in three configuration versions.
Core Highlights
1. Panoramic Ocean View Design: Four transparent acrylic side panels, RGB light strips + dazzling fans, multi-color flowing light effects, creating a full minimalist desktop host atmosphere.
2. Efficient Bi-directional Heat Dissipation: Top and bottom honeycomb ventilation channels, with magnetic dust filters; can be equipped with a dedicated active air cooler to solve the high heat issue of the Pi5.
3. Integrated Expansion Adapter Board: Dedicated Pi5 interface adapter board, fully extending dual HDMI, Type-C power, USB2.0/3.0, Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing direct plug-in of peripherals without cable modification.
4. Real-time OLED Monitoring Screen: 0.91-inch IIC white screen, real-time display of CPU usage, temperature, memory, storage, and IP address hardware data.
5. Optional M.2 SSD Expansion: PCIe to M.2 expansion board, supporting 256GB SSD, significantly improving storage speed (exclusive to the Luxury Version).
II. Material and Structure Breakdown
1. Main Body Frame: Integrated metal chassis, white glossy paint, 1mm thick plate (not aluminum alloy), sturdy and anti-deformation.
2. Visual Panels: 2mm high-transparency colorless acrylic + black semi-transparent acrylic side panels, providing 270° unobstructed view of internal hardware.
3. Dust-proof Components: Magnetic honeycomb dust shields (one at the top, one at the bottom), detachable for cleaning, preventing dust from blocking air channels.
4. Lighting Module: WS2812 flexible RGB light strip, 14 independently controllable LED beads, full-color adjustable.
5. Fan Module: 404010mm 5V dazzling fan, 2200RPM low-noise operation, 20,000 hours lifespan.
6. Drive Control Board: STM8 master control board, dual fan interfaces + RGB light strip interface, IIC communication with Raspberry Pi motherboard.
7. Accessories: Rubber non-slip feet, full set of copper standoffs and screws, special tools for assembly/disassembly.
III. Comparison of Three Version Configurations
1. Basic Version (TF card storage only)
Full set of standard accessories: Metal chassis, Pi5 adapter board, chassis control board, magnetic dust filter ×2, dazzling fan, RGB light strip, non-slip feet, screw tool kit, 4 acrylic transparent panels, OLED monitoring screen.
⚠️ Note: Does not include active cooler. The Raspberry Pi 5 generates significant heat, requiring self-matching with a cooling module. Running the bare board for extended periods is not recommended.
2. Standard Version (Upgraded with active cooling)
Includes all basic version accessories, plus a dedicated active air cooler for Raspberry Pi 5, providing complete cooling right out of the box for stable high-load operation.
3. Luxury Version (M.2 SSD complete kit)
Includes all standard version accessories, plus: PCIe to M.2 expansion board, 256GB M.2 SSD (pre-flashed system image), eliminating the need for a TF card for high-speed SSD boot and operation.
