A metal case is also available (Optional)
According to the Orange Pi website, the new metal case doesn’t include passive cooling option and is essentially hollow, so the board, along with the active heatsink are assembled together inside the case. Based on the CAD drawing images, the company has incorporated side venting slots and holes, including a large vent, to release excess heat from the case.
How much does it cost?
For a high-quality metal case like this, made using the CNC machining process, the current cost range is from $20 (excluding shipping fees).

This is great, but i have a Orange Pi 5 Max almost a year and still there is only first versions of few images for that board and few beta on some forums. So support for that is like zero after board is released.
From my checking, the Orange Pi 5 Max supports around 3-4 distributions. There’s often a delay for new images after hardware release, but the popular RK3588 SoC has solid support. You can always upgrade your existing distribution and install a newer kernel with the latest packages. You can always switch to an RP5 that has less powerful hardware but comes with better software support.
I think this is BS, no announcements form the Orange PI, nothing on the forums.
I would definitely buy this with 32GB or 64GB, now that would be a decent platform
It’s not ready yet, but the news is reliable, and the company has also shared some updates about it.
Well, if they truly on this, this will be a great SBC, I would buy one immediately.
This should be marketed using like 5$ vouchers in ARACE, OrangePI would immediately gauge the interest and get some early revenue o produce the board
