Galactic Case for the Raspberry Pi 5

$79.95

Introducing the Galactic Case for the Raspberry Pi 5.  This case features a new fin design offering massive passive cooling with an aerospace look and finish.  There are precision threaded holes on the bottom of this case for mounting to DIN rail or bolting to other assemblies.  A Polycarbonate button is designed into the case allowing actuation of the new power switch on the Raspberry Pi 5.  It also transmits light from the indicator LEDs thru the button.  The case has an opening allowing the GPIO 40 pin ribbon cable to pass out the side.  There is a thin slot and internal relief cut into the upper housing to allow a ribbon cable to pass thru for the PCIe port.  The CPU and Power Management IC have contact heat risers to pull heat into the housing.  The Galactic Case is fully CNC machined from 6061-T651 aerospace aluminum and includes all Stainless Steel hardware, a tube of thermal grease, hex key for assembly, adhesive feet and super soft, electrically insulating ceramic/silicone thermal interface material for the Power Management IC riser.

A Top-Tier Cooling Solution

The case is an absolute standout. The build quality is excellent, with very well-machined details that give it a premium feel. Beyond its awesome aesthetics, the case provides truly remarkable thermal performance. My Pi's CPU now averages around a mere 35°C, which is a significant improvement and a testament to its superior cooling capabilities. The case itself is also cooler to the touch than the Flirc case it replaced, further highlighting its efficiency. This is a top-tier cooling solution that combines stunning design with exceptional functionality.

Sturdy, nice looking Pi case

This is the best looking and the sturdiest of all Pi cases I have used over the years. All ports are easily accessible. The Micro SD card is easily swappable without restraint like many other cases I have used..Worth every penny!

Epic little box!

The machining on this box is EXCELLENT. *ALL* of the fins and box edges are beautifully chamfered.The precision is amazing. Highly recommended.

I'm going to save up for a copper one!

Outstanding

Ordered 2 for PI5's that had active cooling in a dirty environment. The case not only looks good, but it works. Better passive cooling that I got with the fans. No more failed fans, so can set and forget.
