5 Things You Should Know Before Buying Pironman 5

[@silentdocsihreen1912]

Nice summary and group of tips for anyone looking for a mini-PC case for the PI

[@alexsoul247]

Great tips, thank you. Watched it after placing order... I am lucky I ticked all boxes here :) Can't wait to get on with building it... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience

Glad you liked the video, Alex. Enjoy Pironman :)

Thank you for this video, you have really helped me. I plan to make my first ever sbc having watched them evolve from the first raspberry pi. It is funny that you mention import charges. Here in the UK we want free trade with India and our friends and allies. Why should we have to pay tarrifs? (its just another tax). When I saw the first SBC's I thought they will eventually replace pc's i.e atx etc. That is happening for sure! Slowly but surely we will all use SBC's. Thankyou once again and God bless 😊

Glad you liked it, Paul. Customs are a pain, specially for us end users :( Most of these DIY electronics are manufactured in China and thus the import tax comes into play as per the laws between two countries.

Thanks for the video! As cool as this is, and as much as I'd love to get one, I'd almost add that it might be worth looking at the Intel N100 mini-PCs that you can get for about $150-$200 once you hit this price point for the Raspberry Pi. They're still pretty low wattage, but far more powerful and full x64 instruction sets so can use pretty much any Linux distro for projects. Of course, that comes at the sacrifice of the GPIO, but if that was the point the Pironman wouldn't be considered anyways. Of course, that little case is really tempting as a cool novelty and I totally both want one myself and would totally get why someone would. :)

I agree. It is true if you are actually looking for a mini PC. The cumulative price will give you a real mini PC. I feel that Raspberry Pi has formed a good ecosystem around it, both software and hardware wise. This case is more for the existing Raspberry Pi users. I know that many people have multiple Pi so for someone who is in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, this could be an option worth considering. I mean we all love those RGB lighting and tower fans, don't we :)

@@itsfoss Absolutely, and I need to keep my wallet on a chain so it doesn't go and snag one of these epic little chassis for myself. lol

@@Technopath47 Ha ha ha ... I know that feeling :)
