Rydges acrylic housing has the following advantages:
1. It is very visually appealing
2. One can, due to the transparency of the case see the status LEDs, and is therefore informed of the operational status immediately. The case is very "stylish"
The only complaint against a "normal" case, is the modular design: While I had only 2 parts in my "old" housing, which handles firmly together, there are 6 individual parts in this case. The possibly during transport not as rock solid hold together the assembly of the parts, however, was a little knifflig- end up with manual but not an insoluble problem. My Raspi makes this case really what ago
