opinion on custom case
-
Hi guys So i am rocking with my RPi 4B 2gb and using this cooler right now
The thing is cause of the type of cooler it is and i was thinking of building my own custom case using acrylic which will look similar to this desktop case
And i plan on using this around the unit except for a small glass like areaThe thing is you think i am able to pull off a look similar to that with 2 USB front ports and maybe a power switch on it and also just like a normal PC all the video ports will be in the back of the unit and the glass like side panel i plan on having some small holes in it for ventilation.
So any opinions on what you think might help out cause i am planning on making it next week.

The heat pipes are amazing, that is some serious overkill! I would leave the entire bottom of the case open to draw air in and around the whole board. Are you sure you have enough onboard power for that fan? My fan is 1/4 that size and does not touch the CPU or GPU, I just have passive heat sinks on those.

@pingfreud This is the power adapter i am using on my Pi 4 right now
And also this is my idea for a case i am planning on building which will have enough air flow in the whole thing which the only thing i didn't do it make small holes on the top but i don't think you would notice it in this demo videoLastly the front will have 2 USB 3.0 ports and the back will have 2 USB 2.0 ports and i am making it out of acrylic and vinyl wrap.
