Hey all, I’m looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I’ve done this before with rokchip boards and they are… fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I’d like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and I won’t lie I like the DIY feeling of it over something like a thin client.
Many have said this. If you don’t need the GPIO, get a small PC.
What if I want a computer I can power via PoE?
I have never thought about this. Thanks for pointing it out.
Or if you do not care about power consumption.
The n100 and n200 have quite low TDP values for much better performance than a Pi.
