Review on CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Starter Kit: Complete with Clear Case and 4GB RAM by Kenneth Wood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice set for single board computer

Came in a very nice packaging. Good guide. Everything fits together well. The only thing I found was that the fan hole wasn't big enough. The raspberry neckline is smaller than the fan. I just drilled a few extra holes and the airflow is much better. It doesn't disrupt the overall package. The fan cools everything and the heatsinks fit in both the Pi and the case. The price is fair for what you get. The price is entirely individual, and you will get a little higher. So getting a kit that puts everything together worked well. I like the power supply with a switch. Nice gesture. I got this to make retropie and it really worked. I was using an older RPI 1 and god what a big difference between RPI 4 and 4GB RAM. Now I'm reliving my 8-bit childhood and 16-bit adolescence. I would recommend getting an additional 256GB or 512GB card. Once you start setting up and working with Retropie, you'll need a lot of disk space. I learned this while working above, which cost me a few bucks in cards (32, 64, 256, then 512, so I did all the steps). I keep a smaller card with Raspian loaded so I can switch to desktop if needed.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
