    I love this little guy. I basically use this as my main computer. I have a custom build ryzen 3600 setup that I VNC into, as well as 3 other pis that I use to run Christmas lights. I also have this setup with Pihole running a DHCP server. It’s a great multitasker with a ton of functionality.

    I needed a small Linux box for specialized software that’s exclusive to Linux and ARM processors. This was the solution, and it does a good job! However, the little passive heat sinks get very hot, and a couple of times the heat has caused performance issues. I would definitely recommend a small fan of you run this 24/7 under heavy load.

    Got instructions that helps you build them in a matter of minutes, and also gives you some ideas to use them. I personally use it to block Ads for certain devices, works as expected. Gets heated after a while though, thinking if i need to add additional ventilation on top this!

    As a hobbyist, my family loves the new creations I make from robots to old school game consoles. Plus and excellent teaching tool for the future geeks at home. Simple set up. Then plug it up and go! You actually can make it as challenging or as simple as your skill level demands

    What a cool little device with so many possible applications. I couldn't be more impressed by such a small package with such capability. I would recommend anyone dabbling in computing to get a Raspberry Pi.

    Was going to use this to control christmas lights on my house. I ended up not using this because I started the process to late in the year and didnt have enough time to learn programming. But if I did I feel like this would be limitless.

    These were actually bought as gifts for Christmas. My oldest is turning his into a game server and my youngest, not sure what his plans are. Comes with software on them but can be used to learn Linux or other programming languages. Accessories may also be bought to expend this little computer, Example, monitor, cooling fan, SSD card. Nice project!

    Kit has everything you need for a PiHole ad blocke

    This is my second Rasberry Pi 3+ for adding an additional PiHolle Adware blocker. It's small and efficient for such task. The Raspberry helps me when my Citrix Xen server is down for maintenance so I can always be sure that the Raspberry is watching my back. Now it's almost time to setup a Nextcloud server with a Raspberry 4 and use the 2 USB 3 port with my 2 external 4Tb drives as a backup file storage server. If you don't know what PiHole is I recommend you get one to help keep those ads at bay. Search Pihole or visit https://pi-hole.net
