For a good while, there was a bit of hype built around the Xbox Series S, in particular for the retro gaming scene. It was a cheaper device that offered a small form factor. Likewise, it allowed consumers to download emulators and enjoy various retro video games. But while this process was available, some consumers were skeptical. Of course, it didn’t take Microsoft too long before they outright banned emulators from being available in the marketplace, making it impossible to download and enjoy. That’s just the emulators being used in the Xbox Series X/S retail mode.

    We’re probably 3-5 months away from Raspberry Pi 4 boards being regularly back in stock.

    This is very exciting news. During the pandemic I was tearing my hair out trying to find one. Do you have any recommendations for good cases to put the RPI4 in?

      My experience with multiple cases over close to ten years is that none of them make a difference. Find out that you think looks cool. Unless it’s going in an already-hot enclosure, stay away from ones with fans since they tend to be pretty loud (unless you switch out for a noctua or similar).
