Awesome retro console!

I am so happy I bought this kit! It comes with the case, pi, heatsink, and power cable. I bought a samsung evo 64gb micro sd card for good measure. Installing Noobs is not hard. Once I got it up and running I added retropie. For retro gaming, this is perfect. It plays the majority of old systems well. For example, nes, genesis, snes, 32x, sega cd, mame, psx, n64 (pends on what game), gameboy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance. I use these systems for retropie and they all mostly work well. I also can't believe how smooth the psx emulation is on this. N64 does lag on some games. Goldeneye is on of them. But for the price you can put so many games in here. I suggest to get at least a 128gb micro sd card if you want to truly put complete sets in retropie.

Neo geo works as well, and you can overclock this but make sure to cautious as it voids warranty if damage happens because of overclocking. Also, take the time to learn how to fully use retropie, I am still learning although I have spent a lot of time figuring things out and what works and what does not. There is a github about retropie to learn about what this pi can do and I suggest you take a look. I have not used it for a main computer system, but kodi is available to be used. For the price this beats an Nes classic by a long shot. I use this with the xbox 360 wireless adapter and my 360 controller. Of course, you can use xbox one controllers connected by usb, and any other supported gamepad.

Me and my friend have had many heated fights on Tekken 3 so far. So if you are a fighting game fan, this will be a great device for your collection. Very portable as well. Just plug and play once you have everything set up. One thing I feel should be put in is a power switch. Although there are cables with a switch, I wish there was a way to just turn it off. From retropie you can shut down the system but a red light will still be on, and there is no way to wake up the system so I have to pull the plug and plug it back in. Kinda bothers me and I don't want to damage the usb port on the side of the pi. Overall, for the price is offers much more value once you figure out how to do everything. Worth the purchase to make into a retro console.

I ordered this so that I could try out the latest and greatest Raspberry Pi. The RPi itself is a pretty impressive piece of hardware, even compared to the older versions. The quad core processor does a nice job of keeping up with computational load even when it's doing some pretty fair number crunching, and the embedded wifi chip has saved me some time shopping for a wifi dongle and is able to at the least take care of all the streaming I have done. Several places online noted that heatsinks are a good idea for this board since the power this model draws a bit more power than the previous Pi versions. The heatsinks provided here fit the chips very well and I haven't had any problems with them for the last two weeks since it arrived. Additionally with the increased power demand requires a larger power supply, and the one provided here does a good job of providing enough power to keep everything going. To check that this made a difference I used an older 1A wall wart that I used with some v2 Pis to power this Pi. Under heavy load the older supply had a little bit of trouble supplying power when during high CPU loads, but I didn't notice any problems when using the supply shipped with this package. The case is also a nice clear plastic, is well made and snaps together very nicely. I did not realize when I bought it that the case comes with small screws to attach a RPi camera to the case, which was a pleasant surprise. It has openings for all of the ports that you could attach peripherals to so it won't be a problem getting anything hooked up to it. Vilros has also done a very good job providing extra documentation for the RPi.

TL;DR: Well worth the price for a good set of parts that do what you expect and need them to do.

The packaging of the kit is excellent. It's in a tight plastic bag (not zip-locked) so you'd know if someone opened or tampered with it. The kit comes with a Raspberry Pi 3, a plastic clear case for the RPi, 2 heat sinks and a power supply (US power socket, but supports 100-240 volts). An SD card is NOT included.

I bought a Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter (MB-MP32DA/AM) , because I wanted the boot up and app installations to be fast. The RPi will mostly be sitting idle serving as an Ubiquiti UniFi controller for my access points at home. I might abuse it for other things later.

The seller also emailed me an eBook quick start guide to help me figure out my way with the RPi. It was quite nice and littered with information and pictures. Personally, I didn't need it as I had a previous RPi model, but it's very handy for those fiddling with one for the first time.

The plastic case comes with instructions on how to plug the RPi in it. It snapped in as the instructions noted, with a little bit extra force. They've also included 2 tiny screws that are only meant to be used if you had a camera, otherwise the case's plastic snaps are sufficient. See the pictures.
The case may feel flimsy and that the RPi isn't fitting properly. Make sure that you align the RPi and the ports properly first, then give it a push on the bottom part as the instructions and it'll simply snap in.

The case is designed to fit other items along, like a camera, or insert GPIO plugs and whatnot. The ports are easily accessible. I simply love this.

The only downside for me is that I'm using this outside the US, and that the power supply's head is for the US, so I have to use an adapter for it. It would've been nice if they used one similar to the power supply by HTC for their phones where you could swap the head to match your country, or make it an option, but that could slightly drive up the cost.

Note: If you're buying the RPi to function as a network router, its Ethernet is presented to the OS as Ethernet-over-USB and it's not native. This may affect some apps, such as WireShark if you're going to use it for some traffic analysis. Instead, get an ODroid-C2 where it uses a native Ethernet.
