Also, there are 2 Full-Size HDMI ports with 4K support on the case which are converted from the micro-HDMI ports on the Raspberry Pi 4.”
“In addition to the case, there’s a board that connects to the HDMI and USB ports on the Raspberry Pi 4 in order to :Replace the two micro HDMI ports with two full-sized HDMI ports. Move those ports to the back of the computer, so they’re on the same side as most of the USB ports. Add three extra USB ports (two on the front, one on the back). Move the microSD card reader to the front.”
