      I was looking in getting the flurk case. But it's kinda expensive.
      I seen the iUniker review looks cool that is expensive also in my country.
      I found a GeeekPi case and that seems like the same case like iUniker but cheeper, this one seems to have duel fan unlike the other one I seen on youtube. This seems to have extra cooling in the bottom.

      Should I go full out with the flurk case or get something cheaper. I want to overclock for FBA purposes.

        The case you linked will not fit a 3B+ because of the new PoE pins near the USB ports. Well, technically, the CASE will work but the dual fans won't be able to mount. From what I have seen and read a lot of existing cases are no good for the 3B+ because of those damn PoE pins. :-P

        I have the premium clear case as shown in this auction but to mount the 3B+ I had to remove a little bit of the plastic on the cover to allow it to fit. I also have the Super Kuma 9000 case from Kintaro but the heat sink won't mount because - SURPRISE - the PoE pins are in the way.

        Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!
        Enjoy the ride!

          @classicgmr Thank you for your post, I did read somewhere that all 3B+ Pi's can fit in all 3B cases. I think I got to take this in mind when purchasing a 3B+ with a case.
