Bought this for a project but now is no longer needed. This is a Cana kit that can be looked up here: https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-4-starter-kit.html
To let anyone know, this is under powered at 4 core 1.5 ghz but from what I searched it can be used as a music server.
$50.
Message me and I take paypal.
This is only a few weeks old.

You're selling it because you think it's underpowered? Underpowered for what task?

I have a newish 3800x with 32 gigs ram and a 1080 nvidea. Compared it to that and yes its irritating to use when I am used to a more powerful machine. But for something like a music server it would probably be fine.

For example, I did 1 million points for the Rosetta project for Covid 19, using all 8 cores,16 threads 24 hours a day for a few months and still could browse and use it for a general pc with the Rosetta project running in the background and I could not tell it was running Rosetta. The Pi seems to choke even opening up two tabs to run video.
Edit: I did under-clock the 3800x to run all 16 threads like that to keep the heat down.

But then again, my wifes old 4 core intel I gave her that was new 7 years ago seems irritating to me now too.

Wish I would have seen this earlier, as I just purchased two RPi 4s.

One is setup as a headless music server (they are perfect for that) and the second as a pi-hole for ad blocking and will also configure to be an AirPlay receiver.

RPIs are great little tools.

No I still have it. Sorry everyone for not responding. After I posted I had a bad fall and felt like I tore a hip or groan muscle. The dog was sleeping on the floor and I tried to not step on him but ended up on the floor myself. Finally getting around again. Watch out for sleeping dogs!
So anyway I was thinking that since I was going to do a donation to this web site anyway I could offer the Pi for 50 dollars that would be donated to this web site instead of to me as payment. I will send the Pi to the winner.
So I have a number in my head, from 0-300. The closest one to my number that is willing to donate 50 dollars to AudioScienceReview gets the Pi. Message me for your guess and I will keep track or if the moderator wants the number then they can keep track.
The game is now started until Aug. 14th.
Unless Audiosciencereview says no?

patate91 declined because of being out of the USA and exchange rates plus shipping. So

Two people guessed 42 but didn't have a towel so they didn't win?
