This is the first Raspberry Pi that I have purchased and have to say that I am very impressed. I've tinkered quite a bit with Arduinos but I wanted to try something that could run Linux. I was shocked at how much I could throw at this thing. I am planning on buying a couple more for other projects that I have in mind.
Also, I 3D printed a small case for this and installed a tiny fan, which, in my opinion, is very necessary as it does get hot, even with the included heat sinks.

This kit works well for retropie. I opted for the 4gb kit for better performance. The only con is that the power adapter doesn't have an on off switch.

I looked everywhere and could not find a better deal on the full kit than this. Best Buy shipped it quickly and everything worked great out of the box. Using this for a home assistant build and the hardware inside should be perfect.
