This Mini Tower NAS Kit from 52Pi is quite possibly the best looking NAS enclosure we've seen for the Raspberry Pi 4! The body of the case is made from 3D printed black PLA with laser-cut acrylic side panels, showing off your Raspberry Pi and other hardware with the LED fan lighting everything up.

The kit holds your Raspberry Pi 4 (not included) and comes with an M.2 SSD expansion board allowing you to use your Raspberry Pi with a 120GB or 240GB M.2 SSD (not included - NGFF 2280 Key-B style only). An 0.96" OLED display is included to fit the front of the enclosure to code your own information display for your project.

A 52Pi ICE Tower cooler is also included in the kit to keep your Raspberry Pi cool whilst also illuminating the case with the LED fan. A standard black fan is included for more subtle setups!

All Raspberry Pi ports are accessible including the GPIO pins via the included right-angle adapter which you can connect to a ribbon cable (not included).

Important Information

This kit does not come with a Raspberry Pi, M.2 SSD, SD card or power supply
Only accepts NGFF 2280 Key-B M.2 SSDs
It should also be noted that you shouldn't use an M.2 SSD with a higher power rating than around 5.5W. NVME Drives are keyed differently to show that they require a PCIe interface, so they won't work with this board!
The main body of the case is 3D printed and may have rough sections
The M.2 Expansion supports UASP but does not support TRIM
