Unique Open Cooling Case for Raspberry PiPowerful Raspberry Pi Cooling Fan, Make Sure Your Pi Works StableNew design for Raspberry Pi 4 Model BCooling Design with Fan: Great Heat Dissipation PerformanceNotice: Raspberry Pi is Not Included
Mine did, but some don't. I had a look at the link you posted and I don't think that one does. I checked it's related products and saw this one linky and that's the same thing, but with heatsinks. Out of the two, I would recommend the one with the heatsinks for a pi4.
This is my favorite set up to give friends. Looks good and mostly foolproof hardware wise!
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Rasptendo SNES Case (IMO, connect the power button as intended, but either solder the reset button as per the method mentioned in there or don't connect it at all. This way there's no way for the user to do a non-safe shutdown of the OS)
Dual fan heatsink
Bluetooth adapter (more reliable than built-in bluetooth, change /boot/config.txt to disable onboard Bluetooth)
PS3 SIXAXIS Controller (Dualshock 3's work too, but I like the legit OEM ones, and those are hard to find. The convincing bootlegs/fakes are usually impossible to tell apart from legit ones when ordering online. That's why I look for used SIXAXIS controllers - no bootlegs. Also, I use PS3 controllers because pairing can be done or re-done entirely by connecting up mini-USB cables. No menus necessary once you set it up the first time!)
Sandisk 64GB MicroSD
Canakit PSU
HDMI cable, Mini-USB cable.

For a more serious, less user-friendly but more overclockable setup, ditch the case/heatsink above and go with these instead:
Some kind of heatsink, I'm using one from the Kintaro case but I suspect the cheap stick-on heatsinks are probably fine too
this open-air case (throw out the fan as it's way too loud... I'm sure other open-air cases will work but I like that this one has the 40mm setup for the below fan and the little grille to prevent curious fingers from getting in there at least)
this Noctua 40mm 5v fan (expensive, but quiet and provides solid cooling)
I got it on amazon

Cool little case. Comes with fan heatsinks and a tiny screw driver. No clear instructions though. But it's pretty easy to figure out
A really fun Raspberry Pi project. My goal was to keep as much of the soul of the Atari 2600 as possible. It was important to me to keep the mainboard in the unit. Unfortunately both the chips for the Television Adapter Interface and the CPU had to be removed so that the HDMI connector would fit. I mounted the chips inside the body to still be present.
It cost a little more to build it this way but I'm extremely happy with the result. My total came to just over $150, with the majority of the expense being the Raspberry Pi 3 and a 256 GB Micro SD Card. I guess I’m an idiot because I meant to buy a 3B+ but just now noticed I got only a model 3. Oh well.
There are 3 USB ports and 1 HDMI port extended. The power switch for the Pi was wired to Game Reset switch since it's a momentary switch. A wireless keyboard with touchpad is connected directly to the Pi.
I'm currently running the 256GB VIRTUALMAN-PLAYBOX! v2.0-4.4.11 RHODIUM RETRO-PARADISE image.
The stuff I bought to build this mod:
I'm a little late, but i used this one. Cooling is excellent, however the fan is a bit noisy. Fits perfectly with lots of room for the heatsink

Thanks for the thanks, glad I was able to produce something helpful to the RetroPie community!
I previously used lower settings with passive cooling (just heatsinks) with no fan, but would regularly get near 75-80C when playing games. It wasn't an issue in the winter, but now that summer is here, those systems would overheat (little thermometer icon in the corner of the screen) showing the system began underclocking itself, and performance became terrible.
The case I used includes a fan and only costs $10 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXSMY1N/
