I wonder how much this case will really cost if it ever comes out Corsair shows off $18,000 Concept Curve computer case
Some will say this isn't a real PC, to you I say,It will run a Windows OS of sorts, but currently isn't. Click "My Specs" for full specs. Raspberry Pi 3B with Pi foundation 7 inch touch screen. If this isn't a custom build I don't know what is? Full build pictures here, https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjOYwiwlwDtpgq9LUHdGiiRpn7dr2Q It's currently running Raspbian, mainly because I can't do what I want from Windows IoT. It has a camera, Wifi and Bluetooth, and speakers and sound. It's portable enough that I can take it out on my deck under my gazeebo to play with. It's powered by a laptop like power supply with a barrel connector. 5V @ 10A.
I also put together this headless portable setup. It runs full Raspbian. Raspberry Pi A+ with Sense Hat and other sensors. It shows the date, time. temp, humidity, pressure, and UV index in a repeating scrolling message on the LED matrix. Build pictures here, https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjOYwiwlwDtpgq8_0VrdS3_H5xL_AA This one I set to just boot to command line interface. It can be run off of battery to make it portable.
My PC builds are pretty plain jane by comparison and not really worth posting.![]()
The LED matrix on the sense hat is RGB as well and can display any color in the rainbow. My text messages change color based on conditions. The temperature message will change to Blue if the temp is below Zero for instance. Red if above 25c. The big LEDs are currently set to show the temp. Blue if below Zero degrees C, Yellow if between 0 and 12 c, Green if between 13 and 25 c, Red if above 25 c. I can set them to what ever I want with an edit of my Python file. I'm a retired electronic technician. This is my hobby to keep my mind active and have some fun. This is stuff I can't do, or at least not easily do, on a regular PC. The Raspberry Pi has its disadvantages and short cummings, but it has advantages too. Anybody that has read my raspberry Pi thread(s) will know what I'm talking about.
