R-Pi 5 Computer System
History
I’ve been using the Raspberry Pi on and off since the original Model B was released. I’ve owned one or more of each model up to the R-Pi 4. Recently, I acquired an R-Pi 5 8GB model. With this model being 2-3 times faster than the previous generation, dual 4K video and PCI express, there’s so much to be excited about! See this thread on our forums for a complete list (and photos) of the Raspberry Pi modules Savage///Circuits has on hand and their uses.
I used to use Linux more back when my website was hand-coded HTML, which I set up from a dial-up internet connection. My ISP was a Linux-based system and I had to learn how to login, upload, edit files and permissions, and even create a directory structure within a Linux-based system using the command-line interface. Over the years I got away from Linux as much of the software I used was not available for Linux. Now, with Microsoft forcing us to have to buy new hardware to use the newest version of Windows (Windows 11), I am re-thinking my situation and considering going back to Linux and abandoning Windows altogether. I need to start using Linux in advance to get used to it.
Since I’m going to be using this system as a Linux PC, I decided to make it look more like a PC by using an Aluminum Raspberry Pi 5 Tower Case by ElectroCookie. This case includes an Active CPU Cooling System with Large Tower Heatsink and Temperature-controlled PWM (Speed Control) Fan. It also includes RGB LED lighting. For the time being I am going to run it off a microSD card. I may add an NVMe SSD later, but not for the original build.***********************************
