    The second one says is has a built-in heatsink too. They also know how to
    write
    in English... and it's half the price!

    The second one isn't as milled from solid aluminium though, and looks
    like you can't get a ribbon cable to the I/O ports.

    You can, but it wont make much difference in a enclosed case where there >>> is no airflow. You either need one of the low profile cases which expose >>> the heat sink, or one with a small fan.

    Or you can heatsink directly _to_ the case. I'm not aware of any
    commercial cases that do it (it wouldn't be the cheapest option
    since you would be looking at machined and probably diecast
    components) but it is a prctical option if a custom form factor is
    needed for whatever reason.

    This one definitely has, as you can see from the pictures:- >https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Aluminium-Heatsink-RaspberryPi-Aluminium/dp /B01JBAGQNE

    This one sounds like it does:- >https://thepihut.com/products/flirc-raspberry-pi-3-b-case

    That's just on the first page of googling "Raspberry Pi metal case and >heatsink"
