===Zynthian Box===
−A Zynthian Box is a hardware device designed to run the Zynthian Software. Currently it's based in the Raspberry Pi computer platform.
−This is a sketch with the main blocks of a Zynthian Box:

−And this is the electric scheme of a Zynthian Box, excluding soundcard and display:

−In the project repositories you will find all the electric schemes, PCB specifications, Herber files, etc. to build your own zynthian box from scratch:

+===Zynthian Kit===
−A Zynthian Kit is a set of SPECIFIC electronic modules designed for building a Zynthian Box. This tutorial refers to the "canonical" zynthian kit, that is composed of:
* 4 x Controller Modules (rotary encoder + switch)
* 4 x Controller Modules (rotary encoder + switch)
* 1 x 2in1 Module (GPIO expander + MIDI IN)
* 1 x 2in1 Module (GPIO expander + MIDI IN)
+ * Main ribbon bus cable
+ * Dupont color-wire connectors

+
+Of course, other arrangements are possible and some people is working in different ones:

+ * [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/a-build-with-variations/324]
+ * [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/another-wiring/333]
+
+===Zynthian Case===
+
+It's the enclosure used to put on all the parts. Again, this tutorial refers to the "cannonical" zynthian aluminum case:
+
+[[File:Zynthian_aluminum_case_kit.jpg|600px]]
+
+This case is designed to be used in conjunction with the next parts:
+
+ + Raspberry Pi 2/3
+ + Soundcard HifiBerry DAC+ (also pro & lite)
+ + Display Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" touchscreen (or clonic version)
+
+The case is available as a kit, with all the needed connectors, knobs, bolts & nuts.
+
+If you intend to use a different soundcard or display, probably won't fit the case and you will have to modify it. Of course, you can build your own case like other people has done:
