In this video, I try out the Elecrow Mini PC Case for the Raspberry Pi 5. It includes NVMe support, a multi-fan cooling system, an OLED display, and redirected ports, all for just $40. I’ll walk through the unboxing, assembly, software setup, benchmarks, and thermal testing to see if it’s a good budget case for the Pi 5.
