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.

Features include...

  • MASSIVE Passive cooling performance even when overclocked.
  • Clean Modern Design
  • Assembly bolts are on the bottom and hidden a cleaner appearance.
  • Power button allowing Status LED to show thru as well.
  • 75mm x 100mm outside dimensions
  • 47mm overall height without feet attached.  Feet add 1.4mm
  • All Metric dimensions and hole spacing

  • DIN rail mountable with 3.2mm holes to match rail clips (Phoenix Contact P/N 1201578.  sold separately)
  • Improved access to SD card over all of our previous designs.
  • Slot for GPIO 40 pin cable.
  • Rear thin slot for passing thru a ribbon cable for the PCIe port.
  • Hefty construction weighing approximately 298g without the Pi mounted and 355g fully assembled.

Worth it.

I initially hesitated due to the price as i needed 2, however once I held them in my hands I can understand why it costs what it costs. Perfect exterior finishing, fits perfectly. Should have gotten it earlier.

Everything fit perfectly, the biggest challenge was removing the old active cooler. Can't believe this can be delivered for the price.

The Very Best

I was looking for a better passive cooling case for the Pi 5 and came across this. WOW! Running nothing fancy, just LibreELEC/Kodi on the Pi 5 with the CanaKit aluminum case, I was seeing 135 deg F. with high bitrate h.264 content. I just wanted better cooling, and boy did I get it. I'm now at 102 deg F. Holy cow! This is the Holy Grail of passive cooling, and it looks incredible to boot. The quality is outstanding. Gorgeous, rugged, and very efficient. Worth every penny.

A nice piece of technology

Very nice, high-quality case, you can see the mechanical engineering at first glance.
My Bitcoin Fullnode can be operated in the living room without fan noise and also looks good. The Raspberry Pi is 15 degrees cooler than with the older fan setup

I would buy this item again at any time.
