I’m just about to move house, which I thought was a perfect time to pick one up. I saw the news about no more new stock and then looked and everywhere that ships to me is out of stock.
I have a Nas and use that for torrents, but it’s quite inderpowered. I use an old laptop as a home server for media. However, as it’s old, it’s not very efficient,.so I don’t want to leave it always on.
My router has PoE and this would have been an elegant solution. It works with a Pi, it just provides the form factor, was my understanding.
Yes, you need the pi separately. I didn’t know it was different tona standard pi. I thought all pis came without case and you could pick and choose what to add.

I picked one up on eBay earlier this year.
Serious question; why not use a Pi or a small form factor PC?
For me, I liked the idea of PoE but I don’t think it’s worth the extra $$ for that feature.

It works with a Pi compute module (which, depending on the kit, is sold separately). It will also run on a standard Raspberry Pi.
Thanks for answering :-)

Nope; different. :)

Yes, I only realised when you pointed it out before.
