This listing is for the ED-Pi5Case-O: open aluminium CNC case for the Raspberry Pi 5, available in Black (ED-Pi5Case-OB) and Silver (ED-Pi5Case-OS). Contact us if you need a specific colour configuration.
The ED-Pi5Case-O is a premium open-frame aluminium CNC enclosure designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5, combining elegant aesthetics with effective passive cooling in a completely fanless design. Precision-machined from high-quality aluminium with an oxidized surface finish, the top and bottom covers provide passive cooling through thermal pads and the aluminium body, keeping the CPU, PMU, and wireless module cool -- reducing CPU temperature by up to 15°C. The open frame design also maintains strong Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. All Raspberry Pi 5 ports and interfaces remain fully accessible. Available in Black (ED-Pi5Case-OB) and Silver (ED-Pi5Case-OS), it has been widely reviewed and praised by leading Raspberry Pi creators and publications including Jeff Geerling, Leepsvideo, CNX Software, and Tom's Hardware.
