This came very nicely packaged. Good instructions. Everything fit together well. The only thing I found was the opening for the fan wasn't big enough. The raspberry cutout is smaller than the fan. I just drilled a few extra holes and the airflow is much better. This is nothing to detract from the overall kit. The fan keeps everything cool and the heat sinks fit nicely both on the pi and in the case. The price is fair for what you get as well. Price everything out individually and you come out a bit higher. So getting a kit that matches everything together worked out well. I do like the power supply with the on-off switch. Nice touch.
I got this to make a Retropie and it has really worked well. I was using an older RPI 1 and boy, what a huge difference the RPI 4 makes with 4GB of RAM. I am now reliving my 8-bit childhood and 16-bit teens. I would recommend getting an additional 256GB or 512GB card. Once you start configuring and working with Retropie you'll find you'll want a lot of storage space. I learned this by working my way up which cost me a few bucks in cards (32, 64, 256 then 512 so I made all the steps.). I do keep a smaller card with raspian loaded so I can switch over to a desktop when I need to.

A Perfect Match for a Household NAS (network attached storage)
I connected my RPi as a NAS by running OMV (Open Media Vault Linux) as its OS (OMV is 99% GUI. Has very little cmd-line exp needed - for those who dk).It was very easy to configure with a quick guide online and I set up the Pi, downloaded OMV directly to the Pi and had it running in 15 mins.I still had to configure OMV but that's not a long process either. I used USB 3.0 HDD cradles to hold the HDDs, and placed them under a cheap USB laptop cooler to cool both HDDs.Prior to this setup I had a WD MyCloud and this is SO much better. The WD had a great WDRed HDD, but could only xfer at speeds of about 10MB/s. With my OMV Pi, I get xfers of around 40MB/s. On the WD, itd take forever to load large amounts of video files from my IP cams. But the OMV Pi has had ZERO problems loading large amounts of files from my cameras or from files I set up on a share.Overall... I would def recommend the Pi4 to others (and have). The USB 3.0 and greater RAM (I got the 4Gb version) make the Pi4 a great little platform. I plan to buy more myself. The best part about Pi's is that I can take a diff SD card and turn the Pi into an emulator machine or a media center by simply changing OS's on diff SD cards.

Nice little kit. No mention of US power plug though.
