8-Slot Cloudlet Cluster Case

If you’re running a

Raspberry Pi

cluster, stack, server or another awesome multi-Pi setup, the incredible Cloudlet case from

C4Labs

will allow you to neatly house up to EIGHT Raspberry Pi boards as well as a network switch!

The Cloudlet’s eight bays can also hold

2.5″ drives

(cable/adapter required) for those wishing to create a NAS project or similar. Multiple cloudlets can be bolted together, either vertically or horizontally for huge modular clusters!

HATs can also be fitted, however, most will take up additional bays of space. The popular combination of the Raspberry Pi and

Official PoE HAT

will fit in one slot of space in the Cloudlet Cluster Case.

The case is made from thick and sturdy 1/4″ acrylic in the USA and is available in Black/Clear or Black/Lime. Our

USB-C switch cable

is a great add-on for adding simple per-Pi power management to your cluster.

Note: Raspberry Pi and

network switch

not included. Kit requires assembly.

Compatability & Fitment Notes

• Raspberry Pi 3/3B+: Yes
• Raspberry Pi Zero: Yes (using two mounting holes only)
• Raspberry Pi 4:
  • If a Pi 4 is mounted the same as the Pi 3, the Ethernet cable will cross over the USB ports
  • If a Pi 4 is mounted on the opposite side of the plate it makes the Ethernet port closer to the bottom of the
    case, however the power and HDMI ports are facing upwards and the case is limited to 7 Pis.
• Space between layers: 7/8″ (far left has a little more space @ 1 1/8″
