Hardware Suggestions Needed

[trumpy81]

No Problem pelliot321, I have uploaded a couple of pictures to One Drive for you.

Be aware, I am no photographer ...

If you need better shots or more detail let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Images 1&2 are of the RPi3 with the RPi Foundation 7" Touchscreen and ABS case. Images 3&4 are the Waveshare 7" Touchscreen and the bicolor case with an RPi2 and HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro.

If you are wondering, the Waveshare device is connected to an old Technics (Panasonic) Class A amp.

Oh, and try to ignore the dust, I do. We live about 1/2 Km from an open cut sand quarry, so it is very dusty here and it's impossible to keep things clean.

Yes, I store lots on my NAS and PC, like 6000 Movies, 130 TV Shows and about 30000 Music files, plus the usual PC backups and the like.

I also like Plex for organising my videos and music and I use 2 x RPi2 and an Odroid C2 running OpenPHT (Open Source Plex Home Theater) connected to all of the TV's in the house (3).

I am also a Plex Ninja and you will find me lurking about the Plex - Synology forum should you ever find yourself there.

And as you can probably imagine, I am also a huge Synology Fan, except when it comes to some of the silly things they do with Linux that I and some others have found over at Plex ...

PS: I didn't realise those pictures displayed in the forum here, I added them but they didn't show up for me, so I uploaded them to One Drive. Oh, well, you get that on big jobs ...
