Hi Kal, it is great hearing from you.

I did see that the Pi500 was recently released.
2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, 2 micro HDMI ports, 8G of Ram

$127 at pishop.ca for just the computer and then you would need the power supply, monitor, mouse.

Thanks for that source info. I'll keep logged for ref. Unfortunately the gov'mt slowed down handing out the cash and put me in bind for time being. I did a major purchase in mid Sept. Which blew the budget. When I'm feelin' " frisky " I may make an impulse buy ! Cheers. I went with 12th gen Intel & 32 Gb RAM.

I'm still running an old i3-4170 and 16GB DDR3-1333.  The only upgrade was 500GB HD to SSD.  I thought about upgrading the memory to 32GB, but not worth the money.  Secret to its longevity is probably the top of the line power supply at that time.  So, my advise is, "don't cheap out on power supply."
