That’s just it, though. The official Pi power supply is adequate and good for powering the Pi in any condition, but the case is a far cry from adequate. At best, it just toasts everything inside more evenly, at worst it contributes to throttling because now the heat from every other part of the Pi forms a hot thermal blanket over the CPU.

I’m amazed they didn’t at least add a few passive ventilation holes or slots, somewhere. It gets crazy hot inside the case.

Yeah snagging the official case was a big let down imo. Having to modify it just so the board will operate for a generic use case was a sad moment for me. Glad to see your solution though, time to bust out my old hole saw kit!

Also excited to follow your Dramble project!

I'm sad about the case too, it needs some extensive Dremel work to allow prolonged database queries or movie transcoding or basically anything I'd like to use it for
