“The raspberry pi was shipped in a protective cardboard box and arrived quickly. However the Raspberry Pi board has flux remaining at the bottom and one of the USB 3.0 ports has a bad solder joint with too much solder.”
“Running this with an Allo DigiOne with Volumio on with 400GB internal storage as a music server. Brilliant, and took maybe 60 minutes to get up and running! (Took longer than that to copy my music across onto the internal SD card storage - note: do this over a wired network, not wireless!)
Does run hot though, looking to rehouse in a larger, more aesthetically pleasing case, with a near silent fan to keep airflow. In the current case the internals hit 62C, which is OK, but I'd like to keep it lower.”
“I’ve had most versions of the Pi since they were released. The power of these little board is incredible. Worth every penny for something so versatile. A must for any maker or tinkerer or IOT or, well, anybody into tech or electronics.”
