Eventually I broke down and ordered one to see what it&#8217;s all about.  I started with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Basic Starter Kit From Vilros.  At $49.99, it comes with the motherboard, a clear case and power supply.  I ordered a few more items to make it happen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Edimax EW-7811Un WiFi dongle ($9.99)<\/li>\n<li>Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard\/Mouse ($16.47)<\/li>\n<li>HDMI to DVI cable to enable use of an old monitor ($7.42)<\/li>\n<li>SanDisk Ultra 32GB SD card ($10.95)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With tax it all totalled $98.76.  That&#8217;s not to bad for a very capable computer.  You can set everything up even cheaper if you have a spare keyboard and mouse to use, or an HDMI cable to hook up to an HDTV to use as a monitor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1195\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1195\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/justinline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/raspberry_pi_2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1195\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/justinline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/raspberry_pi_2.jpg\" alt=\"Raspberry Pi 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justinline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/raspberry_pi_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/justinline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/raspberry_pi_2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/justinline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/raspberry_pi_2-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raspberry Pi 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first thing I did to get the ball rolling was to format the SD card using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdcard.org\/downloads\/formatter_4\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">SD Formatter<\/a> for Mac.
