If you want to know more, we suggest you take a look at the full thread on Reddit and the official Bootleg Github.

Yesterday we also reported the launch of a kit, proposed for only $5, which adds a fan to the official Raspberry Pi 4 case. In addition to the fan, a convenient heatsink is also provided to be placed on the SoC of the device to maximize cooling your Single Board Computer.

Furthermore, fans will certainly not have missed the new case for Raspberry Pi 4 entirely made of copper by DeSalvo Systems. Given the material used, the product weighs 785g and is priced at $249, equal to the cost of seven 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 units. The case was obtained from a single C110 copper bar through the use of CNC machines and has various holes to facilitate the flow of air.
