Next clip on the upper section, then the removable lid. Reinsert the microSD card through its cutout and plug in your cables: no tools are needed. If you add the official fan, it attaches under the lid and connects to the GPIO; remember to install it before closing the case. To fit a HAT, simply remove the lid: the GPIO header becomes accessible without taking the board out of the case.<\/p>\n<h2>Recommended accessories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/fan-for-official-raspberry-pi-4-case\/\">Fan for official Raspberry Pi 4 case<\/a> : fits under the lid for sustained workloads.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4-gb\/\">Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4 GB<\/a> : the board to protect.<\/li>\n<li>Official micro-HDMI to HDMI cable: its plugs fit through the case cutouts.<\/li>\n<li>Official 15.3 W USB-C power supply: the recommended rating for the Raspberry Pi 4.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Uses and projects<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Desktop workstation<\/strong> or a neat student workstation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home server<\/strong> with the official fan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home automation<\/strong> : a Home Assistant setup protected from dust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All compatible models: <a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/cat\/raspberry-pi-4\/raspberry-pi-4-boxes\/\">Raspberry Pi 4 cases<\/a>.
