Don’t want to work hard and get extra parts to get your Plusberry Pi up and running? We’ve added two new perks -
-
Fully assembled Media Box - A fully working Media box (includes Raspberry B+ and Plusberry card, pre-installed 8GB SD card, all wires connected) - just add a hard drive if you wish - only $155
-
Fully assembled Media Box PRO - A fully working Media box (includes Raspberry B+ and Plusberry card, pre-installed 8GB SD card, all wires connected) - with 1TB HDD and WiFi dongle! - only $245
UPDATE
Thank you all for your GREAT feedback and ideas – we have done our best to embed all of your ideas into the Plusberry & answer your questions.
AND NOW...Our Plusberry Pi redesign to support the Raspberry Pi B+ model is done!
We have made a design that will fit all models - A / B / B+.
You will get two replaceable back panels for the HDMI area, one for the A/B Raspberry Pi and the other for the B+ .
With the B+ you will have total of 7 external USB ports + 1 internal (perfect for a WiFi dongle).

Introducing the Plusberry Pi
We started working on the Plusberry when we realized what a mess it caused in the living room - a USB hub (with its own power adapter), external HDD - and all the cables that go with them.
We wanted it to look good, and have all that functionality built-in. We designed a PCB (hub and SATA adapter) and a case that offers many advantages :

In addition we thought you would love the following features as well:
- Front LED
- Front USB
- SD Card easy access
- Fan place holder in the enclosure + power connector on the PCB
Since we know most of you are electronics lovers we left you a space in the back for your GPIO cable and camera ribbon :-)
So we turn this...

Design
One of the most important things to us is the design - we wanted the Plusberry to be as pretty as possible, so it would be "living-room worthy".
We went through many iterations - from a simple box-like prototype, through many different concepts till we settled to the final product.
