Vilros Raspberry Pi Zero W Basic Starter Kit- Black Case Edition-Includes Pi Zero W -Power Supply & Premium Black Case

Used it to build a headless pihole. Super easy to assemble and use. Small form factor and not very power hungry.

Setup Pi-hole in less than 15 minutes. Would have been nice to include an SD card reader but not really a fault since I already had one.

Setup was a breeze, works great. Came with everything I needed, and some things I didn’t.

Adquirí este kit para armar un Pi-hole y eliminar los molestos ads en toda mi red doméstica, lo cual pude hacer con este paquete que viene muy surtido de accesorios. Algunos dicen que la calidad de los accesorios es mediocre, a mi parecer están bien para ser un kit de $500. Tengo 1 mes utilizandola 24/7 y funciona de maravilla, apenas y reporta uso de CPU y memoria atendiendo queries de 37 clientes en promedio a lo largo del día. Recomiendo comprarle el adaptador microUSB a Ethernet marca Plugable, no hubo necesidad de instalar ningún driver para tenerlo funcionando.

Used to setup a home netowrk pihole works well for its intended purpose.

I'm old enough that I remember when a very limited computer cost more than $3,000US. Now, I can get a much more powerful computer for less than $50! This will always amaze me. While this could usefully be used as a main computer (Web surfing, Office productivity, Email), I set it up with MotionEyeOS using a Pi NOIR camera I had lying around. (The included cable worked perfectly, but do note that this kit doesn't include a camera.) I also (accidentally) booted it to the Raspbian microSD I had for my Pi3 — the included microHDMI adapter worked flawlessly. Everything clicked together easily once I looked to see where the mounting pins were. I had forgotten that a heat sink was specified, and pleased to stick it on to the processor. The little rubber feet are a nice touch, and the case is molded to show where to place them (and to help retain them). There are several options to the case setup, depending upon whether you want to use the camera connector or not — you can even connect to the GPIO pins from either top or bottom, if you like. For my use, as a security camera, I would have preferred a case bottom cover that didn't expose the GPIO pins, but a piece of electrical tape and some liquid tape will seal that just fine. I almost feel guilty using this only as an IP camera, but it's so much cheaper than any of the alternatives out there, and it doesn't route my video through China, unlike many of the pre-built cameras. I'm looking forward to building another with a regular camera to look at the difference in performance. The NOIR camera definitely has a reddish tint to everything, and it won't actually see in the dark unless you have an IR illumination source. It was pretty cool to look at the IR version of my property as I was walking around with it. If you think you would enjoy a Raspberry Pi, this is a pretty painless way to try one out. The included USB adapter works fine (I tried it only with a keyboard) and I don't see anything wrong with the power supply, which has a convenient switch on the cord. (Do remember to shut down properly to avoid corrupting the filesystem.) If my kids were small, I would probably set them up with RPis for their school computers. Plenty powerful for school work, and tiny, power efficient, and just darn cool. Oh, and be prepared for how small it is!
