        This looks nice what you described. May I ask how much you paid?

          Some 100 € + posting fees. I also bought a 120 GB NVMe drive for it. Currently it runs Debian so that an SD card is used for bootstrapping, and the root partition is on the NVMe drive. Currently it can’t boot directly from the NVMe drive.

            So I’m really curious , what are you using it for? Myself I would use it as a media client and self host. Or make it a retro gaming system and it test it out. So many things you could do with this “mini-pc”.

            Also using a banana for scale doesn’t really work (Laughing) because there is not standard size banana . (: (Just having fun).

              This is my first single-board-computer, so I will try connecting things into it and do various hardware things with it. I will likely also test my own software projects with it. I’m also thinking of learning RISC-V assembly. Self-hosting doesn’t really interest me that much as I have my old netbook repurposed as a home server and the VPS where I’m hosting Sopuli.
