Element14's Pi Desktop Enclosure Kit gives you the gear to convert your Raspberry Pi into a mini desktop computer! The sleek, minimal enclosure is designed with an expansion controller that plugs into your Pi to give it all the extras you've been missing. It comes intelligent on/off power switch and RTC. It even has an mSATA SSD socket and controller so you can plug in a large storage drive to create a media center or network storage system. If you have a Pi camera, you can insert it into a special slot in the case, no dangly bits!

Includes:

Expansion board with smart On/Off power controller
mSATA SSD socket for up to 1TB on-board storage (storage drive not included)
Built in RTC plus CR2032 Lithium coin cell battery
Heat sink

2 x Screws
Enclosure (base and lid)

Please Note: This enclosure is compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 / Pi 3 only, and a Raspberry Pi is not included! You'll also want a pre-loaded microSD card, power supply, and peripherals:
