❔ Which type of case should I choose for my Odroid?

There are different levels of quality with different materials and features.

·  Injection molded plastic cases
These chassis are cheaper to buy and you can build an affordable system. They are often easy to assemble.

·  Bent metal cases- Aluminum / Steel

Usually powdercoated on steel or powder coated / Anodized on aluminum. metal chassis has ahigher quality level both visually and functionally. The Odroid circuit boardsare attached in a more solid way with screws and are more stable in thechassis. The extra weight helps to make the chassis lie stable and not moveback and forth as much as soon as you connect sensors or just play games. Thebent chassis is space-efficient and thin-walled. It provides a compact chassison the outside but spacious inside that can provide space before the UPS,batteries cooling fins / fans to cool down the processors.

·  CNC milled Aluminum cases

This type of chassis has the highest level of quality. Everything is very precisely cut out of blocks of aluminum. The technology makes it possible to leave material inside the chassis that can be used to create a contact with the processor. It makes the whole chassis turn into a great passive cooling. No more fans that can emit sound. CNC milling is a costly manufacturing technique and therefore the end product has a higher price.
