To get the best experience out of your Multisystem we recommend a Mean Well 5v/4A PSU which is also available in our store (standard 'kettle lead' style mains cable is required, which is not included).
PLEASE NOTE
- A DE10-Nano or Mister Pi, a PSU and a micro SD is required for the system to operate.
- You will also need to a USB cable - Either the Micro USB cable for the DE10-nano or the USBA-USBA for MisterPi
- A short Ethernet cable is available here - Short Ethernet patch cable
- A 30mm fan can be found here - 30mm Fan
- Our standard fixings kits are here (You will need two if fitting into a Multisystem enclosure).
- SCART, VGA and HDMI cables are not included as standard.
- If purchasing the Mean Well PSU, a standard 'kettle lead' style mains cable is required, which is not included.
