Elevate your Raspberry Pi 5 experience with the |link_pironman5_promax|, our new flagship high-performance aluminum chassis. Designed for ultimate cooling, expansion, and a complete desktop-like experience, it's perfect for demanding applications like NAS, AI development, media centers, and advanced projects.

**Key Features**:

* **Dual NVMe & AI Expansion Hub**: Integrated PCIe Gen 2 switch with two M.2 M-key slots (2230/2242/2260/2280) for SSDs or AI accelerators (fully compatible with Hailo-8/8L). Configure for RAID 0/1 NAS, SSD+AI, or dual AI setups.
* **Comprehensive Cooling System**: Massive tower cooler with a PWM fan, plus **three** addressable RGB PWM fans, maintaining excellent thermal performance even under full load.
* **Dual Display & Multimedia**:

    * **4.3" DSI Touchscreen** (800x480): Use as a secondary info display, status dashboard, or even a primary desktop monitor.
    * **0.96" Smart OLED Display**: Shows real-time CPU, memory, temperature, disk usage, and IP.
    * **Stereo 3W Speakers & 5MP Camera**: Ready for multimedia, video conferencing, or computer vision projects.

* **Enhanced User Interface & Control**:

    * **Customizable RGB Ecosystem**: Six WS2812B addressable LEDs and three synchronized RGB fans for dynamic lighting effects.
    * **IR Receiver** for media center remote control (e.g., Kodi, Volumio).
    * **Safe Retro-style Metal Power Button** for graceful shutdown and boot.
    * **RTC Battery Compartment** (for CR1220) for time-keeping.

* **Professional Connectivity & Layout**:

    * **Rear-panel Reorganization**: Power input and dual standard HDMI ports are relocated to align with the USB ports for a clean, unified cable management look.
    * **Full Port Access**: Dual HDMI, Gigabit LAN, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0.
    * **Labeled External GPIO Extender** for easy accessory connection.

* **Premium Industrial Design**: Robust dark aluminum alloy chassis with dark acrylic side panels, spring-loaded microSD card slot, and a modern desktop PC-inspired aesthetic.

.. note::

  It is strongly recommended to use the official Raspberry Pi 27W power supply or a compatible high-quality alternative like the |link_sf_27w_supply| for the Pironman 5 Pro Max. Insufficient power may cause instability or reboots of the Raspberry Pi 5, especially under high load with NVMe drives and accessories.
