Hello Juergen,
Nice try, but that case is only suitable for the Pi's 1B+, 2B, 3B and 3B+,
not for the Pi 1B or 4B models, as many connections are changed.
2 small mini HDMI ports in stead of one big one, and the 4 USB ports and
RJ45 EtherNet (now GigaBit) port are swapped with each other.
So the Pi 4B won't fit right in that case.
Beware, a 2.5" HDD or an SSD also generate heat, the Pi would not like that.
There was a kind of laptop case available, may be that's a better solution,
as you have more room and even a display at hand in one case.
Some people at our BigBenClub for RISC OS computers use them.
So Bob has to look somewhat further for a right case.
Henri.
