DeskPi Mini Cube for CM5/CM4

A compact enclosure for Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5 with integrated cooling, dual-HDMI, dual-USB, gigabit Ethernet, M.2 NVMe SSD support and GPIO access!

The DeskPi Mini Cube is a compact case designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) and Compute Module 5 (CM5).

The case integrates a mini aluminium alloy heatsink with a PWM-controlled fan for effective cooling. The internal adapter boards offer dual full-size HDMI ports, dual USB 2.0 OTG ports (requiring dwc2 overlay configuration), a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a M.2 PCIe slot supporting 2242 M.2 NVMe SSDs.

Additional features include a 40-pin GPIO breakout, a DIP switch for boot mode configuration, and an onboard PCF85063 I2C RTC module. Power is supplied via a 5V USB-C port (power supply not included).

Raspberry Pi CM4/CM5, SSD, and USB-C power supply not included.
