At the time this video was released, the Pironman 5 was in-stock on Amazon. If it shows out of stock, there are more are on the way! There is a link in the video description to pick it up directly from Sunfounder, if needed. It should be back in stock on Amazon soon.
I was supposed to get this for the retro game build but I decided on making that look like an NES console. However, I'm still thinking of getting this to set it up for Home Assistant. I wonder how it will be running 24/7 with active cooling.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Mike, hope you're doing well Sir! It was easy to setup and a fun project, just takes a little time. Once it's all put together, it's impressive what was packed into it. Thank you for watching!
I purchased the Pironman 5 Case for a raspberry pi 5 build. It took me over a week to figure out the correct boot configuration. What took so long is trying to find out what number represents the NVMe boot first. It may help someone in the future. My fans, lights would stay on after shut down forcing me to unplug the power supply every time. The correct boot sequence is ....Boot order: Oxf641. Make sure to replace the first numerical value to 6. I hope I have saved someone some time dealing with this thing. It works great now. Upgraded with a Samsung 990 PRO with heatsink NVMe drive. Figuring out how to load game ROMs to it with Retropie will be a longer journey. 😁
Thank you for sharing your experience and information about the Pironman 5! A few tips below, that might be useful also. The fans remaining on were likely due to the POWER-OFF_ON_HALT setting at the default of 0 (instead of 1): docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pironman5/en/latest/set_up/set_up_rpi_os.html . From the page: "To prevent the OLED screen and RGB fans, powered by the Raspberry Pi GPIO, from remaining active post-shutdown, it’s essential to configure the Raspberry Pi for GPIO power deactivation." You don't have to do the following (unless you want it to always boot from NVMe), but in this video ua-cam.com/video/tF85w9GW3r0/v-deo.html (fast forwarded) you can adjust the boot order through raspi-config. I didn't do that in this video, mainly because of the convenience of easily swapping between microSD or NVMe boot. As long as the microSD card isn't inserted it will be able to boot from the NVMe SSD. Hope some of this reply might be helpful as well.
@@WagnersTechTalk I DID have the Power_off_on_HALT=1...As well as BOOT_UART=1....Also.....PCIE_PROBE=1. The settings I saw suggested the Boot order as BOOT_ORDER=0xf416....However once shut down the fans and lights would continuously run. 🤷🏼 I AM somewhat new to the whole Raspberry pi, But I have taken Network Administration courses as my major in college. I feel as though I am learning something new every day with this set up. Thanks for the help and insight, it does not go unnoticed. Love the informative videos you post. Keep up the great content. 👊🏼🤘🏼
Thanks again for the additional information and your kind comments! btw - have you tried PINN Lite on the NVMe? If not, stay tuned for that one 🤓 It's likely my next video, it's pretty cool as it allows you to run multiple OSes from a single NVMe drive. The version for the Pi5 also now boots right off the NVMe (prior versions required a microSD to boot from first). I installed Pi Desktop, Kali, Ubuntu (v23), LibreElec, Batocera and Recalbox on a single 1TB SSD. Still finding a few minor things I need to figure out before I can make a vid on it. But just thought I'd mention it incase it is of interest.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Pironman 5! I installed a 1TB NVMe SSD to it the other night along with PINN Lite and then installed: Pi Desktop, Ubuntu, Kali, Batocera and Recalbox all to the single M.2 NVMe SSD. I'll likely have some content on that soon as I do some additional testing. It's very convenient and PL no longer requires a boot microSD which is a big plus.

I love Iron Man!! That little case looks awesome ! Seems pretty easy to setup. I really enjoy Raspberry Pi projects. Great video Jon!

I built mine a couple of months ago and the fan screws didn't work. Probably why the later units have longer screws.
Thank you for sharing that!

I enjoy the Pironman cases. I am enjoying mine for the Pi4. Sometime I will upgrade to the 5. Thank your the great video!
Thanks for watching!
that is soooooooo cute!!!
Very satisfied with mine!
