The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries. The original model became far more popular than anticipated, getting outside its target market for uses such as automation, multimedia, robotics, IoT, and now even in IR4.0.

DeskPi Lite Case

DeskPi Lite is a lightweight version of the DeskPi PRO Case, it is easier to assemble, yet provide the most wanted features of protecting the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board, keeping it cool, expanding the micro-HDMI to full-size HDMI, and more :) Check it out.

It is a plastic Case for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, compatible with:

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB

It flawlessly converts the common interfaces of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B to the back of the enclosures, so the cables are tidier :) It can be used as a set-top box. The customized aluminum alloy radiator with an edge expansion board allows users to access the GPIO interface easily. The rubber dust cover prevents the GPIO from falling into dust. Programmable Speed Control PWM Fan can support official speed regulation and Programmable speed regulation, Always-On support can make your Raspberry Pi a server online.

Checkout the unboxing, assemble, and review by ETA Prime, you will love the case:

Get 2 Extra USB 2.0 Ports (Front)

Besides, it also displays both the power and activity LEDs, not to forget the power button.

Here is another unboxing, assembly, and review of the DeskPi Lite case by NotEnoughTECH:

All Common Ports at Back Side, Tidier Cable Management

Comes With Solid Heatsink and Speed Adjustable Cooling Fan

We have also run stress-test of this case with StressBerry and here is the thermal performance:

From the chart, it shows, that the fan is crucial, as in many other reviews, even with the heatsink, the heat is trapped in the case if the fan is not activated. So please activate the fan :) Once the fan is activated, the CPU temperature is well kept under 55ºC.

Lee from leepspvideo also review this case and is very pleased with it. Do check the video out here:

Creatively Extended GPIO and Cover

Straight Forward Assembly

Wall Mountable

To enable front USB2.0 ports, please do this:

• It requires Raspberry Pi OS or Raspbian OS and enables dwc2 function
• Open terminal in Raspberry Pi OS
• key in:
  • sudo nano /boot/config.txt
• in the file, add the following text:

                dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

• Save the file and exit the terminal, reboot Raspberry Pi and the front 2 x USB2.0 ports should work now

To enable the Power Always-On mode:

• Toggle Switches on Port adapter board from D to E:
• D - Disable Power Always-On mode
• E - Enable Power Always-On mode

Enable Fan control via official speed regulation:

• Open a terminal on the desktop and key in :
• sudo raspi-config
• Navigate to `4 Performance Options` → `P4 Fan` → `YES`→ `14` and OK → `60` and OK→ `Finish` and then reboot Raspberry Pi.
