What hardware did you end up picking?
I’ve been looking to replace my RPi with something a bit beefier. Some of the components I’m running are memory heavy, and my pi is struggling to stay responsive.
- t0mbstone 8y agoHonestly, raspberry pis are a joke for anything serious. They only make sense if you are extremely limited when it comes to space. You can easily buy a mid-level desktop computer for $200 (either brand new, or off ebay/craigslist/newegg). I would recommend getting an i7 with at least 8 gigs of RAM and an SSD. As of right now, newegg has no less than i7 30 desktop pcs for sale under $200. Slap linux on it, plug it into your power and ethernet under your desk and forget about it. You will have a dedicated server whatever you want. Home automation, gaming servers, docker containers, whatever. Just leave it running 24/7. If you really want to get fancy, plug it into a backup UPS for in case the power goes out.
