COMPLETED Radxa Rock 5 ITX

This will be the perfect Home Automation Server for me. A lot of interfaces.

RK3588 is a very power CPU and is very capable of running desktop loads. Rock5 ITX form factor is excellent for hosting couple of cheap HDD/SSDs in a awesome looking case like RAIJINTEK PAEAN MINI, that's functional and looks awesome. It makes an excellent pair with Joshua Riek's Ubuntu distro for a fully functional desktop + NAS combo.

I want to build one!

I would use it to make my biggest project: Botty.

 

He will be a chatbot, with Discord and Revolt and will have all the functions that a Discord bot has.

 

But he is not only a Discord bot, it will be a robot, connected with lots of sensors like GPS, temp and humidity, gyroscope, compass, light sensor, a camera (to recognizes people & things, take photos...), a LiDAR, microphones to interact with the world around him; and for this I need a cool SBC.

Hope I get the Rock 5B+!

I think this would make a great nextcloud server. I wonder if there is a compatible heatsink?

I would use it to create a server on which I can run/start my international business / written music library on, which would be accessible by internet and through an app.

 

One can only hope he might win a raffle.
