Mini PC and raspberry pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new retro computer shell called the Ready! Model 100. The shell supports Raspberry Pi, SBCs and Nano/Pico-ITX boards and can also be used with your smartphone. The Ready! Model 100 “Founders Edition” with a quad-core x86 SBC fitted with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD will be sold for $899. 

“The design uses only existing open standards like d panel mounts, sma antenna ports and cherry mx key switch holes. The extreme modularity of the design insists upon open standards like usb connections for power (battery!) and data devices (keyboard or any USB device) and all the mounting holes on the bottom plate are for commercially available motherboard standard sizes. Even the touch screen uses USB and HDMI to connect with whatever SBC you want to use!”
