Solid Copper Galactic Case for the Raspberry Pi 5

Regular price $299.95
/

Solid Copper versions of our 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 C110 99.9% pure copper bar and includes all Stainless Steel hardware, a packet 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.  Our copper cases are pure bare copper and will develop a patina over time.

Best RPI5 case

I've had this case for a few weeks now. It is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. What the photo doesn't tell you is the heftiness. Heavy means expensive. So you can really feel the value when you hold it in your hands. The copper does its job too. I run large language models on my RPI5 doing intensive matmul operations. This fanless copper keeps the the system temp under 50 c as reported by watch -n 0.1 vcgencmd measure_temp. The hottest I was able to get it was 47 c and that took a lot of torture testing. I felt the copper while this was happening and it felt lukewarm uniformly throughout. I'm happy and would buy again!
