Haha I have not even opened it and taken it out of its packaging delivery box....

For all I know pihut could have sent me a box of tissues for all I know lol

I opened it. But won't get around to tinkering with it until Friday probably.

Got one of those ubc c mobile monitors that just runs of usb c. Hoping that works fine with it.

That NVMe base is up for pre-order if anyone is interested. I think I’m going to wait for a solution that integrates nicely with a case.

Doesn't seem to work with all nvme's and not sure if it works with the official case.

Just got my pre order in for pimironi.

The power supply turned up today, just a heads up if you want to use USB for a boot drive then a 5a 5v power supply is needed! Will likely be the same with nvme.
Ubuntu seems to be running nicely, my BT mouse is laggy so I've swapped to USB whilst I get all the updates - hopefully that will resolve it.

Did did not order a power supply. Going to see if I can use what I have around the house. If not will order one.

I’m using the official Raspberry Pi 5 charger with a NVMe USB enclosure. No problems so far.

Ah yes I should be clearer - you'll need the official one which is 5a/5v or similar, on previous pi's I could use some other usb chargers (3a/9v) I had laying around but this one requires a bit more amperage.

Gave in and ordered one. Was hoping to use something lying around the house.

Costs slowly adding up. Lol. Case and PSU around £20 alone. Never had one before though and wanted to tinker

What are you guys using yours for?

alexakasloth · 14 Dec 2023 at 13:16

Micro hdmi adapter as well!

I'm using my one for a Plex server and daily browsing computer.

jeffk · 15 Dec 2023 at 13:56

Yeah, I’m using my Raspberry Pi 5 for Plex at the moment. Hoping to expand to use it as a NAS too.

Didn’t bother with the micro HDMI adapter for mine. I just remote into it from my laptop.

Just ordered a Pi5 kit from The Pi Hut, gonna play with Corelight@home when it arrives.

sithlord · 15 Dec 2023 at 19:25

Got my Rasp Pi 5 with everything. But I also managed to snag a Orange pi 5 for £50.

I think you will be more than fine. I've got my Pi 4 setup as a Plex machine, torrent machine and Next cloud. All working lovely.

Pi 4 on plex for me wasn't great performance wise

I don't do any transcoding whatsoever and it works fine. Transcoding brings it to its knees.

Pimironi nvme arrived today, sods law I only have a 600mb/s m.2 to test with atm.

nade · 2 Jan 2024 at 12:39

Got mine delivered, but honestly struggling to decide exactly what to use it for. Would be keen on trying Windows ARM on it, but I believe that's still not there yet.
