The Raspberry Pi/SBC/Mini PC Thread (Raspberry Pi 500 + monitor announced)

[Dr. Zoidberg]

There was a A$214 option but that has now sold out. If you get to Indiegogo through this article you can get it for A$222/US$155 with free shipping.

I watched the 2nd and 3rd videos he did for that last night. It's a pretty cool little device.

That mini PC looks pretty sweet

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It does look cool. I'd rather wait for one which uses the Ryzen 4000 series APUs though, which should be able to run PS3 and Wii U better.

[Skynet]

Seeing the PS3 and Wii U at all was pretty decent though

[Dr. Zoidberg]

True.

NES case for pi 4

I think between the RPi 4's potential and these awesome new cases, I'm about ready to do my own Retropie build. Not sure if I'd use the SSD cart myself, but I'm an old fogie that still uses 3.5" spinning drives for that 10tb+ capacity.

This is not my official Review this is a First look video at an early unit.
In this video we take a look at the upcoming GMK Nuc Box, They Claim its the world's most powerful palm-sized Mini 4K PC but is it really?
So this is an early review unit I have in my possession now and GMK will need to upgrade the cooling system on this box because it does get hot and I’m unable to really test this mini PC to its full potential but luckily it has not launched on Indigogo yet so they do have time to fix the issues before the final version ships.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I haven't got my non-Pro one yet, although it is in Melbourne now. Some people on the Indiegogo page are pissed about a new version already but I'm not that worried, the Pro is about AU$90 more expensive for a CPU that's 200Mhz faster and that's the only difference.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The Larkbox arrived today. Nice timing.

A fully tricked out model with an i7-9700F, 16 GB RAM and 512GB SSD is $879.00 US. Pricey, but worth the money with that emulator lineup.

I paid about $200-300 less to build a similar mini PC with a Ryzen 2600x, which the 9700F blows outta the water. And I couldn't ever dream of fitting a discrete GPU in that case, either. The i3-9300F is about the same horsepower, and brings the price down to $619. Very, very reasonable I'd say for what you get.

I'm finishing my first arcade cabinet, and this would've been an easier solution that building my own PC.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

They've finally gone full C64/Speccy/Amiga/Atari ST etc.

In this video, we take a look at the all-new Raspberry Pi 400 AIO personal PC in a keyboard! We do an unboxing, hardware overview, Gaming test, emulation test, thermal testing, and finally a tear down on the Raspberry pi 400 to see what makes it tick! Powered by the BCM 2711 Arm CPU clocked at 1.8GHZ of the box “can be overclocked to 2.2Ghz” and backed by 4GB of LPDDR4! So is the pi 400 worth $70? Should you buy one? Can you game on the pi 400? Let’s find out!

Uh he didn't even test the ZX Spectrum or C64?? I want to know whether my all-in-one home computer can handle Jet Set Willy!!
