X-It Launches Plusberry Pi - Enclosure and Board Combo on Indiegogo

 
TEL AVIV, Israel – September 05, 2014 – X-It Technologies has recently launched a crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo for its Raspberry Pi solution, the Plusberry Pi. The solution, available for $49 for the duration of the campaign, is the first enclosure and PCB combination that turns the popular low cost Linux computer into a full-fledged media center, adding a powered USB hub and internal HDD bay. The enclosure supports all Raspberry Pi models, including the new B+.

“We are thrilled to provide the vibrant Raspberry Pi community a complete solution which turns the RPi into a device worthy of the living room”, said Asher Elbaz, CEO of X-It Technologies. “Until now, RPi owners who wanted to use their devices as media centers had to cope with the board’s lack of sufficient storage, USB ports and unfriendly port placement, which resulted in numerous cables running in all directions, making it an unrealistic solution.”

The new Plusberry Pi is a beautifully designed enclosure for the Raspberry Pi, which includes a powered USB hub and a USB to SATA adapter, and an optional fan. The kit includes a 3A power supply, which powers the Raspberry itself, the internal HDD and any peripherals connected to the hub.

“Gone are the days when the Raspberry Pi was connected to an external powered hub and an external USB, with an extra power supply and tangled cables. We have made the Raspberry truly living room-worthy.”

The Plusberry Pi is running on Indiegogo until September 25, 2014 at http://igg.me/at/plusberrypi.
