Spotted a passive cooled raspberry pi case for some silent cooling of those OC'd pi's out there.
The sink contacts both sides of the CPU and the Network controller.
Suits: B/B+/PI2/PI3
One of the reviews note that WiFi is slightly affected by the case, so may not be ideal if youre already struggling for signal.
Much cheaper than the $28ish to get the Flirc case delivered. Should have similar cooling properties too

Review:
Got exactly what I expected. I could see the case wouldn't make that large of a contact point with the cpu from the pictures before bying but I also ordered some copper shims to fix that. Otherwise it's a nice pi case for the price that does exactly what it says. Didn't make very good contact so had to add a bit of extra arctic silver 5 to get the SOC to even reach the case "pin". Running for about 3 minutes full load on all cores overclocked to 1.3Ghz it reached about 56c. In the long run it seems to reach 65c wit the case top being 39c. With long run being 15 minutes. With better contact temps will be even lower. So I'm a very happy camper.
Side question.
Can a raspberry pie bye good with this case, for home security camera software?
