- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10296:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

Power up your Raspberry Pi 5 with a compact and clean case, with a transparent side panel that keeps thermals in check and looks the part in any setup. This mini tower kit wraps your board in a precision-moulded enclosure, adds live system stats on a 0.96-inch OLED, and tames heat with an [ICE Tower cooler](https://core-electronics.com.au/52pi-ice-tower-cooler-with-rgb-lights-for-pi-5.html) and PWM fan, lighting up the case. Ideal for showing off to your Maker friends, long-running services, or classroom demos where stable clocks and at-a-glance status matter, all while showcasing the hardware through clear acrylic side panels.
