Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB or 8GB)
DeskPi Pro case
Phillips screwdriver
With up to 8GB of RAM, USB 3.0, a quad-core CPU and dual-band WiFi5, the Raspberry Pi 4 is the first iteration that can deliver a consistent, reliable desktop experience. But to fulfil that potential, you need a desktop case with space for additional storage, full access to the USB ports, and a reliable cooling solution. Among the various solutions available is the $55 DeskPi Pro from SeeedStudio (www. seeedstudio.com). It has everything you need to turn your Pi into a desktop system and delivers a great experience, but setup can be tricky.
We’re on the case!
You can’t search through a list of Raspberry Pi accessories online without tripping over a bunch of cases. These range from the official white and red case to LEGO-compatible boxes, transparent cases, layers of plastic stacked one on the other, and various DIY solutions. With so many options for keeping your Pi free from dust, splashes, and other potential interruptions, it might seem strange to consider a solution like the Argon ONE range or the DeskPi Pro.
