Pi 4 + Argon One M.2 = Awesome

I have to ask what are the downsides on that one that prompted you to get an Argon case, or was it just that you wanted M.2? It would be really nice to be able to have the cooler tower with copper heat sinks and the M.2 at the same time with a case enclosure around that has good airflow.
I had no problems with it at all, it works perfectly, and it's a huge overkill for the Pi. Meaning I can push it and not worry about it. I mainly use it now for testing/overclocking Pi's outside of a case, just for fun.
I just wanted the Argon. To use a Pi 4 as a PC, SD access is simply far too slow for me, I knew I was going to use an SSD, and I liked the Argon case design the most. Compact and convenient.
I had also looked at the Retroflag NESPi 4 SSD and Geekworm X-825 cases, but it was the Argon that won for it's compact design, full size HDMI, and all rear I/O. I also already had a NESPi Case with a 3B+ in it, and this Pi 4 was not going to be a RetroPie box, and didn't want another one.
