Got a Raspberry PI 3

Bought the kit with pretty much everything other that mouse/keyboard. What a fun little computer in a small box. There is even a Ubuntu Mate image for it. Using it as an OSMC/Kodi media player for no...

Those kits do look pretty fun.  They kind of remind me of the electronics kits you could get when I was a kid.  They came with the board and wires and all sorts of stuff.  

 

I was looking at them on Amazon and one of them might be in my future.  They're pretty inexpensive, too, considering.

I have always thought about buying one with an SD Card Slot and a small microSD card... They make excellent webservers for a basic website!

    Or gutting an old hand held gaming system like a gameboy and loading every emulator you can find on it for the ultimate mobile gaming experience!

        Me thinks you speak of RetroPie: http://www.emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html

        I bet that would be a blast.  I've never owned a hand held gaming system, but I used to run a couple of emulators on my old desktop and play NES/SNES games, which was very fun.
