I enjoyed building my Pironman 5 recently, on March 8, 2025. From opening the box to loading an operating system on a micro SD card it took only 3 hours 40 minutes. I have also built the Zeus Car and the RasPad 3.0. The Pironman booted successfully the first time, and I have it presently configured with a 1 TB M.2 SSD. I have the AI HAT kit for future fun. Putting these amazing kits together takes me way back to childhood, building Archer Kits from Radio Shack. Thanks Sunfounder!
