Wat.
- You're replying to a thread about someone using a 1GB Pi 3 to stream multiple 4K movies. It's $44 on Amazon including fast shipping. Cheaper on eBay if you can wait 3 days.
- The 8GB Pi 4 is $75 on canakit, not $160.
Anyway if you want more compute (on an edge device? why?), why not grab a AM4 board and CPU for like $80 each? That's 25W at the wall and gives you a ton of flexibility if you later wanna repurpose the machine adding GPUs, NVMe, SAS enclosures, etc
- gruez 2y ago>The 8GB Pi 4 is $75 on canakit, not $160. To be fair once you add in shipping, a sd card card, power supply, case/heatsink, and you'll get to around 160.
- NavinF 2y agoBizarre. MicroSD cards are $5 on Amazon. I figured everyone has a bunch of spare 5V 2.5A PSUs in the box of wall warts in their garage, but maybe that's a bad assumption. $5 for a brand new PSU and $15 canakit shipping. So it's $100 total if you didn't care at all about cost and bought the most expensive Pi for use as an edge device for no technical reason. Why would you need a heatsink unless you use a case? Why would you use a case? That price tag is entirely self inflicted
