I'm pretty happy with this. A Raspberry Pi 5 with both a @pimoroni.com NVME Base and the Pi52 ICE Tower Plus Cooler purchased from @thepihut.bsky.social. Now all I need is a case to put it in!

Love that cooler. Some may say it's overkill, but we managed to mine Verium with it without getting anywhere near throttling temps. It'll handle anything you can throw at it...then it'll throw it right back at you!

Y'all asked for a pre-soldered version of our Baguette S3, so we've made this an option on this new C3 model, and a pre-soldered S3 version is on the way too. Because we love you β€οΈ, and you hate soldering π

NEW! It's a baby baguette - the Baguette C3! πΆ
Based on the ESP32-C3, this breadboard-lovin' diddy dev board is great for making the most of proto space - and comes with a Qwiic port, RGB LED, USB-C, BOOT/RESET buttons and more!

It looks like a weird format, and it does look awkward, but when you set one up and put it in the case - it's easy, and makes a lot of sense.

Here's the new M.2 HAT+ Compact inside a Raspberry Pi 5 case with the fan installed. Yes, the lid goes on too!
The footprint and flex cable look a little odd until you see it in the case, then it all makes sense. It works really well.

This is exactly what we disliked about other boards, especially the wider NodeMCU options. So wide you're left with a single row of pins on each side.
