Pi Supplies

Here’s a quick list of hardware you need to build this puppy. In addition to the items listed below, you need a network connection (network cable or USB Wifi adapter) and video display (HDMI cable, HDMI-to-DVI adapter, or Analog Audo/Video cable). A USB Keyboard and Mouse are optional, as most everything can be done via ssh.
