I am about to purchase a box with fan for rasp pi 3. Also, i will purchase a aluminium heat sink for the rasp pi. Will the heat sink fit inside the box with fan?

Thanks

Thanks Sam,

Do you know any other transparent case with fan for rasp pi 3 that would fit with the heat sink? Around the same price as CE04434.

Not really sorry, that one seems to do the job for most people. That heatsink will fit into that case without any issues.
