I was attracted to this product because it offered a good range of features at a very competitive price - heatsinks, fan, case, and a built in off switch to the power cable. I'd been thinking about buying a fan and heatsinks for my RPi 2 B+ for a little while and have always been irritated by the necessity of unplugging the micro usb from the Pi in order to turn it off, so when I saw this bundle, I thought I had to give it a try.The acrylic case seems well made and sturdy - it certainly fits the Pi board perfectly, with no notches or overlaps. Once the nylon screws are inserted, the board is held snugly. The heatsinks are easy to stick on, although you have to be careful about positioning. There is a bit of give in the thermal tape so you can manoeuvre them a little if you haven't got them in exactly the right place (like me!), which is useful, but after a while that becomes harder. Try to get it right quickly, I'd advise.The fan took me a little more work (and some youtubing) - if I have one criticism, it's that the enclosed instructions don't give clear guidance on fitting it. But as I say, a 2 minute youtube tutorial later, I was good to go. I might have to rotate the fan just to tidy up the wires to the GPIO, but that should be easily done and is my fault for not thinking it through carefully in the first place.Once that was sorted, I plugged it in and powered up. Being able to press a switch was probably the most satisfying thing about the whole experience! Everything worked beautifully. Time will tell how effective the cooling is, but I have no immediate plans to do any crazy overclocking so for my purposes it all looks fine.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I thought this product represented good value for money, and as I got it at the sale price of £9.99 I reckon it was a steal. As I say, the instructions could be a bit clearer/detailed, but that quibble's not enough I think to reduce my rating, so five stars it is!

Poor regulated voltage
Well packaged Item, all things accounted for. Was looking forward to finally having a switched power supply for RPi on the odd occasion it would hang, and whilst this was indeed included it would seem even though it's rated at 2.5A its regulation is poor.My RPI 3B+ is frequently showing the lightening bolt indicatimg the voltage is dropping below 4.6volts from the nominal 5v and can be problematic for not only it's performance but may also lead to corrupting the SD card.You may get lucky, but evidently some poor electronics are being used.

A nice solid combo for a very cheap price.
A nice solid combo for a very cheap price. It's easy to get sucked into buying a PSU, case and heatsinks separately but this bundle does it all and the switch on the USB power cable is a nice touch. I had worried the fan would be noisy but I have to hold it up to my ear to hear it.You need to Google which pins to connect the fan up to as it's not mentioned in the instruction sheet but that's no big deal.

Excellent case for the Pi
Everything you need to case you Pi. The in-line power switch makes powering off the Pi easy (so that the fan isn't running when powered down), and with a 2.5A rating, the PSU can provide sufficient power to the Pi.The enclosed heatsinks and fan mean everything stays nice and cool also.The styling of the case may not be to everyone's taste, however I think it looks great.

Case Fine, PSU not as described
The case was fine, a bit finicky to assemble but good enough. The PSU however was a waste of time and effort. Advertised as a 2.5 amp supply but my Pi wouldn't boot when powered by this psu but it booted fine from a different supply rated at only 1 amp.Item returned immediately

Great little kit.
Looks nice when assembled. The kit I received had one piece that was wrong. Must be from another set. Contacted seller but didn't even get a response. Considering that it's for a Raspberry Pi I just modified the unit (in keeping with the spirit of the thing). Response would have been nice even if it was just to say sorry. Other than that it's a great little kit. The power switch is a nice touch.i would recommend this.

Nice Pi case
The case looks good, it's solid when assembled and good value with the PSU,fan, heatsinks, etc. Removing the plastic covering on the individual components is a bit fiddly, but that's the price you pay for having protective coverings on the parts to prevent scratches, etc.

Sturdy, quality case
I wanted a case that included cooling and also displayed the Pi. This looked great compared to the others and also included some cool features like the on/off button on the lead. Very well cut case, everything is completely flush and sturdy. Instructions were a little unclear, the pictures don't look like the parts it’s telling to you put on next, but it’s pretty easy to figure out if you take your time. Took maybe 7-8 mins to put together first time round. Overall great quality and looks awesome.
