“I bought the Pi 3 and installed raspian with the view to replace a Mac mini running OS X server. After a few trial installations to figure out the appropriate configuration of the OS and applications the Pi is now being tested as backup mail server. The server is powered by a small solar panel and cooled by a Peltier element. If the test goes well the setup is going to be deployed permanently with significant savings in power for HDD and aircon.”
“The packaging was very minimalistic (standard AirMail package) with no protection, not even a cardboard box, just an envelope. I was very surprised at first, but luckily the raspberry board seems to be working perfectly, no damage at all during transport.”
“I’ve bought from ThePiHut many times over the last few years, amazing service every time. I can’t recommend them enough!
I love how versatile the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is… I’ve used it for almost everything you can think of - weather stations, CCTV controllers, ambient/environment controllers, the list goes on.
We recently bought a few more Pi 3’s to control our 3D printers remotely. In reality it’s like buying a Ferrari to do the school run as they are more powerful than required, however, the fact these will happily sit at 80-85c before bottlenecking means they’re perfect for operating in our 3D printer enclosures.”
“I bought this to work with the Google AIY kit and had everything working in no time at all. Working with Raspberry Pis (this was my third) is a great way to be immersed in Linux and a great way to learn what can be a daunting OS to a noob.”
