MirkoPC – a Raspberry Pi CM4-powered computer made in Poland
It's interesting to see how people have basically reinvented the standard motherboard, as people have been building PCs from in the DIY x86/x86-64 community for 30 years.We've gone from what a raspberry pi was originally intended to be (a $25-35 computer) to something the same size, complexity and price as a standard Taiwanese mini-itx or micro-atx x86-64 motherboard and lower-end Intel or AMD CPU, with the same complement of I/O.I had the feeling this was inevitable when I saw people putting active DC powered fans on heatsinks on the rpi CPU some years ago.Sort of like how a modern Toyota Corolla has incrementally evolved to be a whole lot fatter, heavier, feature laden and costly than the same model name of car 20 years ago.
