My ordered from Pi Hut has arrived today, just getting a USB stick with Ubuntu onto it so that I can get a Plex server set up. Currently using my main desktop (Xeon) for that which uses a tad more electric.

The official case with the fan is perfectly good.

Ah nice! I’ve not long had the pi 4!
Such a small package which packs a punch! May have to get the 5 now!

Yeah the official Pi5 case is fine for now, the standard Argon one I usually buy looks like it will be available soon.
Personally though I think the one Pi5 I have setup with my NAS, emby, etc will be fine in that case, in the long run I hope they release a Pi5 version of the Argon Neo NAS server case

Rapid have them in stock, other places probably do as well.

To put it into real terms, I run some amateur radio software on my Pi5 which includes a database lookup.
On the Pi4 with SD card, that lookup took 20 seconds.
I changed it so it was on an SSD and it reduced to 6 seconds.
On a Pi5 with the same SSD, that search now takes under 2 seconds.
You’re right. I bought the official case and it’s pretty nice.
I’m hoping there’ll be a case with integrated nvme slot down the road but the official one will do until then.

I just love the support there is for the Pi's I've dabbled with other SBC's but invariably it seems you hit an issue with something and there's few other users out there to assist you!

Pimoroni are releasing an NVMe base at some point soon, bargain at £13.50.

It also supports PCIe 3.0, I think Jeff Geerling got the Pi 5 working at those speeds with some basic tinkering.
NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 - NVMe Base
Add super-fast storage to your Raspberry Pi 5 allowing for lightning fast boots, NAS use, and snappy applications!

AMD Radeon RX 460 reportedly runs Portal and Minecraft on Raspberry Pi 5 - VideoCardz.com
Radeon RX 460 works with Raspberry Pi 5 The latest version of Pi5 can already work with select discrete GPUs. The previous versions of this small ARM-based computer were unable to run discrete external GPUs for two reasons. The maximum bandwidth for the PCIe 2.0 interface was too limiting to use...
videocardz.com
Jeff Geerling are testing PCI Express adapter with old discrete GPUs running on Raspberry Pi 5.
Discrete GPUs Jeff current testing are:
AMD Radeon HD 7470 1GB
XFX AMD Radeon RX 460 4GB
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB
EVGA Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Nice. I think over the next year we’re going to see a lot of very cool accessories and cases for the Raspberry Pi 5.

I agree, they are very much at a point now where the I/O and processing power makes them very appealing for basic daily use PC's.

Mine just arrived. Got the 8GB one

What you using your for @jonneymendoza?

Haha I have not even opened it and taken it out of its packaging delivery box....What you using your for @jonneymendoza?
For all I know pihut could have sent me a box of tissues for all I know lol
