The issue with a raspberry case is that N100 Radxa boards have the N100 on the bottom. That's where the heatsink has to go.

The X4's biggest problem is the Pi form factor, which yeah, is Radxa's mistake, but also a good reason not to buy a Pi 5, cause you'll also need a heatsink, which'll then interfere with your GPIO access, fan header, and so on. If I have a small eInk display HAT, I'd much prefer not sandwiching the hot bits between the really hot bits and my display.

Shoot. Forgot about that. Wonder if the cooling cases or the solution available will be bulky.
