# Compute Module 5 Case

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE10185 · **Brand:** [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/raspberry-pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-case.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-case.html.md))

Keep your CM5 and IO Board safe and protected in a clean powder coated case.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $23.20 (inc GST) — $21.09 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 250+ $20.04 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 1 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10185:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10185:1.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. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The **IO Case for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5** is a two-piece sheet-metal enclosure that wraps [the CM5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5.html) and its [official IO Board](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-io-board.html) in rugged protection, adds a PWM-controlled fan for active cooling, and still leaves room inside for an NVMe SSD or PoE+ HAT.•

### Features

- **Compact metal shell -** 170 mm × 94 mm × 28 mm, powder-coated steel top and base.
- **Integrated brushless fan -** Using the onboard Fan connector (also on [the Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html)).
- **Full port access -** cut-outs for dual HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 2 × USB 3.0, USB-C power, microSD and status LEDs.
- **Flex-cable slots -** twin apertures let you feed out 4-lane CSI/DSI ribbons for cameras or DSI displays without removing the lid.
- **Accessory clearance -** internal height accommodates an M.2 2230/2242 NVMe SSD or the official PoE+ HAT+.
- **Antenna ready -** SMA pass-through port accepts the Raspberry Pi Antenna Kit for improved wireless range.
