Well, I priced some Pi4s and Pi5s and WOW did they go up.... Pi5 w/16GB RAM like nearly $300.....  One issue with using the Pi5 for this, while not too big of a deal, still kinda is one, is the Status LED. https://raspberrytips.com/green-and-red-light-on-raspberry-pi/ Which would be better to add externally, if possible. Though it mentions the 4s having a status LED too, I'll have to check; I don't remember one being on on there.  But I am considering switching out my Pi5 for the one being used on my Pi4 RetroPi system, and putting the Pi5 on RetroPi, I tried a PS1 game, The Need For Speed and it won't play, so probly will end up doing this, I need a couple more things to finish it, I think only the MicroSD card Ext cable and the USB-C to USB OTG and USB-C ext cable, for my LED light strip inside.  Speaking of which, @Chris Savage Can that Laser machine of yours be able to make the Gizmo and JKnight logos? I just need to get my sizes and the Font I want to use. Sadly TinkerCAD can't use the Font I want, so not sure how I'd make it.

I also created this coaster holder, which holds the five coasters perfectly and could handle an additional coaster.

Quote from: granz on Sep 05, 2026, 09:02 PMYes, like I mentioned, I have wanted one for many years. We were forced to get one at this time, but it would have been much better if we could have gotten it before we actually needed it. In addition to that, we got it home about 9:00 PM - after dark. And, remember, there was no lighting on our porch - we had to set it up in the dark. We finally got power about 11:00, but there were some minor issues, and I kept waking up throughout the night to make sure that it was still running. It is MUCH better to do the initial setup in the light of day, and without the pressure of "this has to work, now."

Agreed. Sitting in the dark not fun, esp if its either hot as hell or cold as hell...
