“I used to be a techie and was a UNIX system administrator back in the 90’s , over the last 10 years stepped away to be an account manager.
I recently had a problem with my ISP and had the requirement to monitor and capture the upload and download speed of my connection.
This Pi starter kit was ideal, armed with my USB keyboard and mouse I was able to install Ubuntu and get docker installed with influxdb, Grafana and Speedtest CLI - a great little technical project to get my tech fingers busy!”
“This is basically what you want and need as a starter. The only issue I can see is that it's probably good to have a fan included as well, but that's the vendor's issue, not Pi Hut's.”
“Picked it up to play around with and try things like retropie given I have a cupboard of old consoles and games I never bother to take out and setup. This is a powerful little device and the 32GB raspbian SD took the hassle out of most of the setup. Looking forward to doing more with it too.”
“A wonderfully useful little Beastie :) very small size with bootable external USB 3 , Wireless and Bluetooth inbuilt.
Including a fanned case and external 500gb hard disk with a Wireless keybroad and mouse the lot was less than 100 Gbp.
Boots great of external Harddisk and at the moment lets me play with Lineage OS (Android), and Twister OS (Raspbian).
Powerfull little beastie. Drive and Pi velcro banded together and velcro fixed to back of HD TV. you wouldn't know it was there.
Great little box!! Thank you.

“Lovely - everything I needed to get myself started. Mostly a browser\music player at the moment but will definitely not be the last Raspberry Pi in my life.”
