Raspberry Pi 5 Kit 8GB RAM with Pi 5 Case,Active Cooler,Screwdrive and Pi 5 8GB Board Included

I use it for home assistant is and it works very well and fast. I've used raspberry pi OS also on this device and it works great. Easy to put the case together. Kit came with everything as advertised.

Nice kit all together. It was pretty easy to put together and have it up and running in a few minutes. Definitely a good buy for a beginner like myself.

This is a kit. You have to assemble it and connect accessories. The four small screws that attach the R Pi 5 board to the case were difficult to install. Probably best to hold them with needle-nose pliers, and press them gently straight into the holes, then tighten with a micro-Phillips screwdriver. The screwdriver they include is too small if your hands are not very strong. You need to provide a keyboard, mouse, monitor, power supply, interconnect cables, and a microSD card, preferably one that is very fast and is at least 32GB. Certainly more if you are doing videos or graphics. I used a 128GB SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-1 card. I think the power supply needs to be 5.0 Vdc at at least 3.5 amps. More if you are powering things via the USB connectors. The case is plastic, but seems to be solid. The heatsink and fan should be sufficient for cooling the CPU, memory, and graphics chips. Once together and configured, it is amazing all the things it can do and how fast it is. Libre Office and other useful apps can be installed with the operating system when you get them from RaspberryPi.com. It is a very nice product.

Works really well have it set up as a gaming emulator

The Pi works great, the case is nice. Unfortunately the fan was bad, and there seems to be no way to contact someone to just swap out the fan. It's either send the whole thing back or keep it all. So I did end up buying a different case with a better cooler and a fan that connects to the gpio pins. That's my only complaint.

Very nice kit! The case is pretty decent, and the fan is nice and quiet. The 8GB RP5 is incredibly fast compared to my RP Zero 2W. Had it up and going in about 10 minutes with Ubuntu server. You will need your own micro SD card and power supply for this. It needs a beefier power, so make sure you've got at least 5A 5W. I would suggest using the Raspberry Pi Imager to select an image on your PC/Mac and let it set your hostname, wireless settings etc. It'll come online just fine and you'll be able to putty right in and update and throw on Docker, PiHole, Proxmox or whatever it is you want to do.

Runs great and easy to set up. I was able to install a version of retropie and build a retro emulator and steam link app to play games over LAN. Case is sturdy and the fan and heatsink keep it cool.

for the price you would think it came with a power cord or HDMI cord, but it doesn't, you have to buy this separately. Installation instructions are terrible, no guide on where to set the thermal pads.
