Seems like a good price for this (usually around $100), cheaper than a Pi 4

Now on Back Order (Eta August)

Mod note: The website allows item to be ordered for backorder at the price of $57.48 + GST when logged out. However, users report that their orders have been cancelled with the reason from the seller stating that the clearance stock has already been exhausted. This deal is therefore marked as expired.

    • yep, something like the dell wyse 5070 for $55 shipped on ebay is the way to go

  • +1

    I’ve found this deal tempting, however, I know I won’t use it for anything.
    I bought an old optiplex from eBay, with 8gb and 7th fen proc
    Upgraded another 8gb for $20, added 2 additional network cards , installed proxmox to run:

    Pfsense
    Truenas
    Homeassistant
    Homebridge
    Scripted
    2 containers for transmission
    2 containers for VPN clients (serving the 2 transmission containers above)

    In progress:
    NVR- either Blueiris or frigit to boost my security cameras performance using Coral
    VPN server
    Pi hole
    … pls comment if you know some more VM/CT that are good for home use

    And not sure what more in the future, all in a single machine, with scheduled backup on truenas within, and weekly backups to OneDrive via truenas.

    The downside is the power draw, but it’s serving many purposes with one 24/7 machine.

    • nothing really heavy there, you could probably get away with a 10w TDP gemini lake wyse 5070 for $55

      • on the contrary my i5 6th laptop with 16GB RAM is pissing when I installed Truenas in Proxmox, always hit 99% CPU utilisation and struggles to cope up.

        • Same thing happened, and it crashed and shut down Pfsense, and the house started to complain for having no internet. Chucking extra 16gb and now no issues at all.

        • I think the the extra stick doesn't help here as it's the CPU that's being the bottleneck

      • My machine has 3 HDs installed, so your advice will not fit :(

  • Thanks.

  • Anyone doing audio stuff with raspberry pi?

    • I did Volumio on a Raspberry Pi B+ yonks ago

      • I don't think it's required anymore, my pc has never skipped a beat streaming music from Tidal, etc

        I think if you have a digital music on a server, maybe then?

        • Correct. Used it for my FLAC collection previously.

          • @m9: Yeah I have tons of digital music, now I send it directly to the streamer. Don't have what to use RPi for lol Haven't bought any deals around here.. Maybe install a Linux distro for practice, because I am a Windows guy.

  • Should I get it for my HAOS..I already have a laptop with i5-5200U that runs HAOS well.. Seems to get this will need to buy others stuff such as SSD..

    Just got a very strangely worded cancellation email:

    Please be informed that since we were running fire sale/ stock clearance offer and as per the t & c the discounted price was applicable only for AU warehouse stock.

    Since AU stock is already exhausted for few of the ordered items we will no longer be able to sell at discounted price.

    Hence the one line from the order is cancelled from our end.

    Um what? Can you rewrite that in English please?

    • Same.
      Anyone else got cancellation mails?

      • I did

      • I got the same cancellation email as well. :/

        Very unimpressed. :-|

    • No Pi for you!

      But I also bought the fan/heatsink so I decided to cancel the order proactively in case they send only the cooler over (where I obviously don't need it alone). When I made my order the website still shows in stock. So obviously someone fed it up that night.

    Dear Customer,

    Please advise on the below I see all the items customer has selected is with 02 code and the price is higher compared to code with out 02.

    In this case do I have to release the order as it is or change the codes

    Please be informed that since we were running fire sale/ stock clearance offer and as per the t & c the discounted price was applicable only for AU warehouse stock.

    Weirdly written cancellation.

  • i bought a pi4 1 year ago for 115 from the same site….

  • I cancelled mine, no use for it and id need to invest in a case, sd card and power supply

  • Apparently mine is getting delivered tomorrow, I only bought it because the price makes me nostalgic for when $60 was the normal price of a raspberry pi.

  • I know it's very overkill but purchased this for a Pihole.

    I currently have pios in a VM on my NAS - but it's slow since it's HDD based and if there's a power outage it takes about 15 minutes to recover.

    Any suggestions on PSU for these? I'm thinking the official 27w one is probably the better option here.

    As for a case I was thinking a passive aluminum case off of Aliexpress - any suggestions?

    SD card - was going to go with a Samsung Evo

  • That was quick - just arrived …

    • Mine too (the pi 5), says it was express posted, from Sydney warehouse.

      While the extra case and psu I added are coming separately, from UK warehouse!

  • Weird mine hasn't been shipped yet.. no cancel emails or charged card either.

    Edit: I lied about the being charged part, just checked again was charged within the last hour lol and it's now shipped

    • same here - no charge, no shipping, no cancellation.. i ordered about 9.30pm on Wednesday night

      hope i manage to get one.. been hanging out for a reasonable price drop for a while now

      • Yeah mine ended up being shipped so don't lose hope haha

      • aaand cancelled

  • Paid on 8th when deal went live, money debited straightaway but status still shows pending!

  • Hey guys
    Has anyone been able to cancel their order by emailing them?

    • There's a request cancellation option online, when you view the order from memory. It worked for me - cancelled same day (but not instant, they manually check & do it).

      • Thanks gav, do you need an account for that?
        I checked out as a guest

        • Ahh yes I'd assume you'd need an account. Not sure how to do as a guest, sorry… maybe order email has something.

  • Anyone who got charged but it still hasn't shipped?

    Order cancelled.

      Yeah, I only just got the email now

      • +1

        Same

        • +1

          Same

          • @nickw444: Same. I'm crushed, was so looking forward to it, bah!

  • +1

    Received email from element14 ,they will cancel my order at the low price offered here to buy at the new NEW HIGH price!. I'm a regular customer of theirs and have probably bought every Raspberry Pi ever available from them.

    • But I searched around there's no HIGH PRICE for 4GB model, only 8GB model which is IMO meaningless…

      • +1

        Same, can't find the new price. They shipped the PSU but cancelled the Pi…

        • +1

          Maybe you should force them cancel and refund you the whole order (if you don’t need the PSU alone)

          Speaking of the 5V5A PSU… I’m doing PoE so never mind…

          • +1

            @xmagic: Contacted them and was told there were issues with shipping the Pi from Europe and hence taken off their website. They have agreed to free returns and refund of the PSU. Just a hassle and now need to wait for the next good deal to pop up for it.

            • @shrimpee: I’d rather wait whatever it can be than having the order cancelled. But I guess cancel instead of fulfilling is easier on their side.

  • Any project recommendations? Already have a usff home server and a pi running pihole separately

  • Same ,I've emailed them regarding this allusive price.
