Custom Raspberry Pi 500, Rasp Pi 400 inspired-CODE NAME: GIZMO

On the finished case, it's going to take longer, having printer issues,, plus I gotta really think how to place everything inside, cables creating some issues. lol, and my resin printer isn't big enough to print my case, but It will somewhat be in a case. The metal one, with the keyboard installed only. The Pi will be exterior if anyone has never seen one before.

That's fine. I was just referring to discussing what you are looking for in terms of laser work. Such a quickly evolving discussion will be more productive in person, methinks.

Ok. that'll work

POLE:
- Keep Raspberry Pi 5

- Switch out with Raspberry Pi 4

Want opinions, since IDK how to add pole, doinf this way. Concidering swaping out the Pi5 for my Pi5. Reason is, was trying to play Zelda:OOT and occasion, it freezes. Need more power/ram? Setting? Idk, so since doing project Gizmo for Linux system, still hard time doing Linux and Windows on my old laptop, so don't think I need much outta it, but the RetroPi might need more since I am having issues. What do anyone think? @granz @Chris Savage @MicroNut @Jim Fouch

Edit: I figured it out...

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.
