Way beyond expectations

From the reusable box, to everything being labeled and carefully packed, the Vilros PI-5 kit was top notch. I also purchased the aluminum case with fan and the full sink. Everything went together perfectly. I'm running a couple of ham radio programs on it along with a software defined radio (SDR) app. I also surf the internet and view videos on youtube without any problem (running 4G ram). The fan is loud when it runs but on mine it only run for about 20 seconds when it first fires up. I'm so pleased with the PI5 and Vilros that I've ordered two more. On one I needed to make some changes to my pending order and Vilros support promptly took care of it all.

Vilros is a top notch company and the products they sell are great and fairly priced .... shipping is fast too.

Amazing kit!

The quality of the case is fantastic, just as ever case from Vilros has been. The instructions for the heat sink placement and other components was spot on. The QR links to the videos cleared up the slight but of confusion I encountered at one point.

Get going in about an hour but there are issues

I don't have a lot of experience with Raspberry Pi's but this was fairly simple to get up an d running. Everything worked first time and there are plenty videos if you need to check the orientation of anything
Pros:
Easy setup
Everything needed to get the system working is supplied
Everything worked out of the box

Cons: The following 2 issues cause me to deduct 2 stars from the rating:

In the same order I ordered the raspberry Pi AI Hat. The problem is once the Hat board is installed the the lid of the case that has the CPU cooler no longer fits, so I have to run the system without a CPU cooler. This seems like a major design flaw.
The supplied heat sink comes with 'sticky thermal pad s' that allow it to be attached to the components on the board. However these pad are not very sticky and so the heatsink does not stay in position
