The Raspberry Pi 5 is one of the most powerful consumer-grade SBCs out there. Sadly, its limited stock means you'll have a hard time finding one.

As spotted by CNX Software, the Pironman 5 looks and acts just like a full-sized gaming case. It has a power button, cooling fans, and even some RGB lights. It features a small OLED monitor you can use to keep track of how your hardware is keeping up. It features two HDMI ports, sports Wi-Fi 5 compatibility, and a micro SD card slot. It even comes with a software module you can access to tweak the hardware, such as fan speed and the RGB pattern.

However, the Pironman manages to squeeze all of these features into a case you can pick up with one hand. Slot in a Raspberry Pi 5 and you're good to go. The case has some room for expansion with an NVMe M.2 SSD Slot that fits 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 models. In short. it's a pretty amazing pickup for anyone who uses their Raspberry Pi 5 as a PC but doesn't have a proper home for it yet.

If you want one for yourself, you can grab one from the SunFounder website for $79.99. And if you think a gaming PC case for an SBC is crazy, you haven't seen when someone made a 65-inch gaming mirror with one.
