Pi Desktop Kit, a super vitamin case for our Raspberry Pi

Pi Desktop Kit Case.

The accessories for Raspberry Pi are innumerable and more and more. Recently, one of the official Raspberry Pi distributors, Element 14, has created a new accessory that has become an important accessory, as important or more than the PiCam or the official case.

This accessory is called Pi Desktop Kit, a case that offers us the possibility of connecting an SSD disk to our Raspberry Pi, thus increasing the possibilities of using the board as a minipc.

The connection between Raspberry Pi and the SSD hard drive is made through the GPIO port and that allows us to use the mSATA connector as well as offer a main power source to the Raspberry Pi board.

Pi Desktop Kit has power connectors, on / off button and free slots so that by inserting the Raspberry Pi into the case, the user can directly connect the usb or hdmi cable.

Unfortunately the price of this case is not affordable at all. Element 14, its creator, is selling it at 46,71 euros And despite this price, above the price of a Raspberry Pi, there is currently no stock of these cases.

Without a doubt, Pi Desktop Kit is an ideal accessory for those who want to have a mini pc at home. Not only its size but also the possibility of cooling the plate, add the power button, supply power to everything, etc ... An all-in-one that will help us to have an inexpensive minipc, but also to restrict the uses of the Raspberry Pi, something that we have to value.

Personally I think this «super-vitaminized carcass» como algunos han llamado a Pi Desktop Kit, es un gran invento, aunque propiamente no promueve los proyectos de Hardware Libre que la Fundación Raspberry Pi quería promover, puede que por ello haya sido un distribuidor oficial y no la propia Fundación la que lo vende Do not you think?
