Vilros Raspberry Pi 5 Complete Starter Kit

My AI learning has begun! 😎

Haven't done too much with it just yet (need to figure out my monitor and power situation where I want to put the Pi) but this kit has everything to get started. I'm super impressed.

Nice and powerful for a computer the size of a credit card.

I love it

Everything came in a timely manner. Easy assembly and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would say that's missing is maybe a silicone button extension for the on off switch. That would have made this purchase absolutely perfect. 👌aside from that everything is perfection. The device itself might have been over hyped for what it is. Don't get me wrong I really like it but I will say. For what it is I feel like I could have gotten more power out of a recycled cellphone. Still though I really like it and I have already set it up on the big screen. I'll look into maybe coding a preset for others later. But I got it looking nice on a 62' 4k TV with a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse. 👍

I was originally a little overwhelmed when I wanted to get started with raspberry pi. This kit made it super easy and everything just works

This purchase was my first purchase into the world of SBC's and this kit made it super easy. Loving my Pi and running Home Assistant on it!

Exactly what I wanted A1000

Amazing product!

It's not everyday that you order a product and get perfect execution from order to delivery. Vilros always performs with the best and fastest delivery and at affordable prices and lower than most competitors across the board. The kit I purchased is one of the best and not offered on other sites. Vilros delivers a quality product and with the quickest delivery of other competitors.

Its great!!!

From the reusable box, to everything being labeled and carefully packed, the Vilros PI-5 kit was top notch. I also purchased the aluminum case with fan and the full sink. Everything went together perfectly. I'm running a couple of ham radio programs on it along with a software defined radio (SDR) app. I also surf the internet and view videos on youtube without any problem (running 4G ram). The fan is loud when it runs but on mine it only run for about 20 seconds when it first fires up. I'm so pleased with the PI5 and Vilros that I've ordered two more. On one I needed to make some changes to my pending order and Vilros support promptly took care of it all.

Vilros is a top notch company and the products they sell are great and fairly priced .... shipping is fast too.

The quality of the case is fantastic, just as ever case from Vilros has been. The instructions for the heat sink placement and other components was spot on. The QR links to the videos cleared up the slight but of confusion I encountered at one point.

I don't have a lot of experience with Raspberry Pi's but this was fairly simple to get up an d running. Everything worked first time and there are plenty videos if you need to check the orientation of anything
Pros:
Easy setup
Everything needed to get the system working is supplied
Everything worked out of the box

Cons: The following 2 issues cause me to deduct 2 stars from the rating:

In the same order I ordered the raspberry Pi AI Hat. The problem is once the Hat board is installed the the lid of the case that has the CPU cooler no longer fits, so I have to run the system without a CPU cooler. This seems like a major design flaw.
The supplied heat sink comes with 'sticky thermal pad s' that allow it to be attached to the components on the board. However these pad are not very sticky and so the heatsink does not stay in position

Awesome

Vilros has the best package deals when compared to others. It then becomes a no brainer if you factor the additional discounts that sometimes are available. I like the high quality components that come in the complete kits. Nice work!

Shipping was reasonably fast and everything was in the package that was supposed to be, but the metal case is trash. The pads where the pi5 sit are tilted so the pi5 flexes if forced down on them. The screw holes were tapped before the coating was applied so the screws won’t thread in. Other than that, I’m happy with my order.

Came with everything needed to set up and use my raspberry pi 5. I replaced the case with a different one because the included one has no powerubtton or LED passthrough, its just a hole in the metal. That was the only reason for four stars.

I have a very fast, fancy PC, but I can't stop using my little Pi 5. I absolutely love this thing!!!! The case is wildly easy to put together, and the whole kit is actually, in my opinion, overbuilt—but in a good way!! I'm about to order another one for various projects. The price is what sold me, but you take this out, and it's ready to go. You literally have everything you need.

Tha cnc case is real nice. Had the pi working in 10 minutes. Great kit. Excellent service.

Great product at a good price. Shipping was excellent. I will buy another one from Vilros. I installed Ubuntu 24.04. Thank you.

This is my first pi. I wanted to build my own arcade machine and setting up retropie (once I figured out what I was doing) was relatively straightforward. Especially with ssh and all the guides out there.

Overall, I had a great experience building my Raspberry Pi 5. It was simple to put together and launch. The web tutorials were very good, and I was very confident in building my Pi. My only problem is the microHDMI video output. I think a mini would have been better. It is easier to find mini-to-mini or mini-to-regular HDMI cables. I know it came with two micro-to-HDMI cables, but maybe one should have been micro-to-mini, or for a few dollars more, add an adaptor that you know will work on Pi video output.

My fourth Pi, first with Vilros. Best kit yet. I opted for the 8GB with alloy case. Very sturdy, got it put together and running on external M.2 NVME with ease. Configuration was a snap, especially the VNC as I like to run the Pi standalone and remote in with gui. Performance in all areas far exceeded my expectations.

Wanted a starter kit so I didn't have to collect a bunch of parts for a PI5 project. Everything was really good with the exception of the length of the wiring for the case mounted fan. It's just long enough to get the connector on and case assembled without any slack. Watch the video an follow the instruction with the wiring as you assemble the case (I thought I did) but ended up having the wire get sandwiched between the CPU and Thermal pad as the case went together. Ordered 8G with the deluxe aluminum case, all nice! If the wire for the fan was a bit longer 5 out of 5.

I’m new to Raspberry Pi but this is a nice little kit. Good quality components. I’m using it as a server for my smart home and it’s working nicely.
I’m very happy with it so far for my purpose.

I got mine. The kit is really helpful, though I wish it came with a camera rather than just the camera connector and no camera

This purchase was my first Pi and I am more than pleased with it. It runs everything I want it to. Vilros really outdid themselves with the packaging and all of the case, hardware, instructions, and little extras that come with the complete kit. None of it feels cheap, nor easily breakable. Overall, I would buy again from Vilros without hesitation.

Vilros has always had great kits. When I originally bought the raspberry pi 3b. I went with them because the kit had what you needed to start with. For this kit it was well organized and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make a great kit.

My first Arduino was from Vilros. It was a great start for me. My latest fun is this new Raspberry Pi 5 kit. The layout of accessible GPIO with this case is great. I am having so much fun. Thank You Vilros.
