RE: Enclosure - grumbleweed - 05-06-2020
I grabbed one of these enclosures a couple of weeks ago, with a pi4.
Very nice combo, but the top part can scatch very easily, so remove the GPIO cover and use a clean surface to build on.
I haven't used the power script, but the power button still functions as a simple on/off.
Funnily enough we had one of those momentary powercuts the other day, the only system that didn't restart was the Pi4-Argon (Pi2, Pi3, PC all booted back up).
Overall I'd recommend the case, like Drone7 I've only hit 43C slamming out some 'Stones DSD's, it's usually under 40C.

It depends on how heavy it is. They mount hanging over the back.
A small board is no issue. https://kulplights.com/product/pi-oled/ works perfectly. My HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro, however, required a piece of foam to keep from shorting out. (No damage, but it didn't work.)
I love my Argon case, but I swapped it out for the plastic HiFiBerry one since I have it hooked up via some big ol' Silver Sonic Air Matrix cables.
