Pi Desktop kit transforms your Raspberry Pi into a stylish

doudy

Hello,
I have a Desktop Transformer Kit for PI3 + SSD.
Purchased in 2018 from McHobby.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the "Pi Desktop" board and case with a Raspberry Pi 4 - Model B - 4 GB?

Thanks

  • Video, LAN and USB are at a different location. the other one you mention is Pi4 compatible: Argon ONE M.2 Case for the Raspberry Pi4. It allows to add an ssd  and gives a normal size HDMI connector.

    I've ran into the LAN and USB position switching places before when thinking cases between versions are compatible.So much to remember. so much I have forgotten.

    I remember I got lucky with a Phoenix Contact case, it was designed for an older Pi 3, but worked with Pi 4, but that seems to be rare with enclosures : (

     An Industrial Enclosure for Raspberry Pi 

    Also this one is nice: re_computer case from Seeed:  

    https://www.seeedstudio.com/re-computer-case-p-4465.html

    It fits about half a dozen different SBCs, including Pi 3 and 4, because it comes with a load of interchangeable panel plates. Another nice thing is it's spacious to add extra things inside, and easy to modify. I drilled a few holes in mine on the side, to fit an antenna, and the Pi Camera. (EDIT: I was mistaken, the antenna holes are already there, plugged up). Can also fit lights inside since the top is clear (I wanted to make the lights be white, but blink a different color whenever there was any LoRaWAN comms, but didn't get around to figuring out how to do that).

    The top is magnetically held in place, so it's quick to pop off to mess about with the electronics if required.

    Edit: Found a photo.

    In the one on the left, you can just about see the white flex for the Pi Camera, in-between the two antennas. That case doesn't have a Pi inside, but the unit on the right contains a Pi 3.

    Also for the one on the left, there are strips of LED lights pointing down, they are glued to the underside of the black surround of the top clear panel.
