Where do you buy refurbished HDD?

Dude, relax!

Yes, I’ll have to buy a 10/15€ cheap Chinese adapter.

But can it run it though? Does it have enough power?

I wish it was possible to connect it to VGA servers to 🙁

Veeeery nice! I want one! (Well…maybe 2, or 3, or… 😁)

Edit: Do you know about other KVM maybe under those 69$ without screen? Personally I wouldn’t need it.

What do you mean by “suspicious”? What are your worries?

Ok, but is that “high load” something that the rpi 5 is capable of handling? I don’t think so.

At peak the sff PCs are going to be at least triple the ~30W of the pi 5.

Are you sure? I think that for the same tasks, the i5 (at least 9th gen) is more power efficient than the rpi 5. I was a pi guy, I had them all over the places, but like you, I’m now using SFF/tiny used PCs (when I don’t need GPIO).

Well, actually with 150$ you could buy a used business SFF/tiny PC with an 8th/9th gen i5 CPU and I don’t think that it will consume that much more than a rpi.

Also flashing custom Head Unit software to your car will be very hard, is not well documented, and likely will void your warranty, giving low incentive for developers to even attempt it :/

I hope that Europe will demand car manufacturers to allow the installation of an after market kit, or better, to install our own software. I’m sure that the open source community will jump in (I’ll chip in for sure!)
