The Pi's were unattainable I got a Libre Computer ( https://libre.computer/ ), still working great years later. There's lots of other alternatives out there too.

At that price, you might as well buy an Intel NUC Mini PC. You'd get more performance at a similar price, and it's x86 instead of ARM.
I wanted to get one of these for a server..
Ended up getting an N100 Chinese mini PC with 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, just ready to go...... it consumes...3.6W - 4.1W on idle running Ubuntu Server. I'm 100% satisfied.
Still I had to pay like 260€ these mini PC were a lot cheaper before.
I could get a used office desktop, and its monitor for less than this, and it'd be more usable.
Raspbery PI done lost its mind.
You can install armbian on cheap android tv boxes. Essentially the same thing.
Whoa that's crazy. Happy that my pi 1 and 2 are still happily chugging along
I cant imagine buying a Raspberry Pi anytime within the past 5 years, let alone the past 2... If you don't need your money that badly, give me a shout, I'll put it to better use.
I need money so maybe I should look into selling all of mind now.
