| Extra slice | Acorn | The RiscPC sports a brilliant modular case, allowing you to have a small case or a large one. Simply add extra 'slices' when you require more space for more stuff. It is recommended that you obtain correct case pins for the number of slices you have (see below) | | Yes |
| Case pins - for securing slices |
| 1-slice case pins | Acorn | 1-slice case pins for a lean, mean RiscPC with room for only 2 drives and space for two podules. | | Yes |
| 2-slice case pins | Acorn | 2-slice case pins allow you to secure two slices in total to your RiscPC. | | Yes |
| 3-slice case pins | Acorn | 3-slice case pins allow you to secure three slices in total to your RiscPC. | | Maybe |
| 4-slice case pins | Acorn | As shown in the main photo above. 4 slices. Yeah! | | Maybe |
| Backplane - for connecting podules |
| 2-slot backplance | Acorn | Allows you to connect 2 podules (the max. for a single slice RiscPC). | $10 | Brand New |
| 4-slot backplance | Acorn | Allows you to connect 4 podules. Needs at least a 2-slice RiscPC. | | Yes |
| 6-slot backplance | Acorn | Allows you to connect 6 podules. Needs at least a 3-slice RiscPC, and an extra PSU would be advisable. | | Maybe |
| Case feet - to turn your RiscPC into a tower |
| RiscPC feet (set of 4) | Acorn | These allow your RiscPC to sit upright. 2-slice RiscPC (or more) is recommended for stability. | $5 | Yes |
- RiscPCs have been seen with more than 4 slices. Do a search for RiscPC Rocketship to see Peter Bondar's 10-slice RiscPC (including pizza oven!)
- Extra slices make cooling more inefficient - Webmonster recommends a podule slot fan if you have 2 or more slices.
