Mini Tower NAS Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 [Discontinued]
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 M.2 SSDs (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
- We recommend the Argon ONE Power Supply for additional headroom to power the SSD expansion and any other connected devices (only one PSU is required for the entire setup)
