Reddit mentions of CanaKit Raspberry Pi Complete Starter Kit - 32 GB (Canadian Edition)

Because basically a raspberry pi will do all of that at this point....

If you need a pc.

Get him 4/8gb of ram with a g4400 and any mobo that supports it,500gb hdd and 300w psu and call it a day.

This might do the trick. Get him a wireless keyboard and mouse to go with it.

Canakit is actually Canadian, from BC I think? You can find the exact same thing on amazon.ca.

For that budget, get a Raspberry Pi 3 with a My Passport 2TB drive.

Yes they are! You can also get them on Amazon! They usually include a microusb power supply, HDMI cord, microSD card, Pi, heatsinks, and case for your Pi! If you would like to tinker around this summer you could definitely get a kit, but you don't have to by any means. Here's's a link to one on Amazon!

Amazon - Sticks and Pi

The box i'm just going to build out of MDF. 24"x10" with 3" sides.

I did this last week. I used this & it had all of that in one kit:

CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 Complete Starter Kit - 32 GB Edition

[https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01JYGYAX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](SNES Retro Classic USB Controller,kiwitatá Super Nintendo SNES Game Controller USB Gamepad for PC/Mac/Raspberry Pi (2 Pack))


I'm not a huge fan of these controllers but I don' tknow if it is them or the whole emulation things. Playing super mario 1, i found it harder to powerslide & stop/not fall down holes. I had this probem with a retroduo but the controlers were even worse

I also picked up this keyboard but haven't even bothered hooking it up:

(2017 Update )Rii® K12+ Mini Wireless Keyboard with Large Touchpad, Stainless steel Cover for Pad,Smart TV,Raspberry Pi2/3, MacOS,Android,XBMC,Windows 7/8/10(Black,US Layout)

oh ok. Like I said... complete noob.
Just when looking at amazon, I see these two items... thought they may be different as one said model b. the other did not.

Raspberry Pi + Case + HDMI Cable + Power Cord + Micro SD card $99.99

2 SNES Controllers $23.99

retropie is free and the roms (the games) you can get off pirate bay (free)

Soooo... maybe not cheaper with all the accessories but you can play games from a lot of different consoles.

Check out this tutorial before you buy anything to make sure this is something you're capable of.

I'm looking for recommendations for a kit that would make sense for a non-beginner. This is the best looking one I've found so far:

But if you know of any others it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Buy a Raspberry Pi and set up PiHole:

It's on Amazon as well but seems to be pretty overpriced https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01CCF6V3A/ref=br_imp?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=desktop-sidekick-3&pf_rd_r=FVNRVWZ60X5MH413HVYH&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2422367542&pf_rd_i=desktop

This https://www.amazon.ca/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B01CCF6V3A?ie=UTF8&ref_=pe_386430_199462080_TE_item ? I ordered it yesterday :)

> I don't want to drop 600 on a mini PC just for streaming

i'm in the same boat!

my thinking: why not save CA$40 and just get a raspberry_pi kit if you are going to install linux and only use it for HTPC? libreELEC+kodi (included) on a pi3.

IDK why, but these canakits are like WAY cheaper in the US. USD 50 in US vs CND 100 (~ USD 78) in Canada. Sorry my moose bro!
