When I was talking to Jacob and Megadrive about running Blurt on a raspi the minimum specs where the Pi 4 (B) with 4GB of RAM. So I bought the Pi4 4GB and this case. But from everyone I've talked to CanaKit makes a really good case and kit.

I'm running Blurt from a computer with similar features to that Raspberry from my house, but I recommend a Rasperry Pi 4 that has at least 2 gb of ram recommended 8. Here you have the publication of my proposal as a witness and tomorrow I will upload a video with that configuration I tell you. https://blurt.buzz/@freakeao/witness-low-cost-or-a-witness-without-a-budget-from-home
