Day 1 Update: 12% funded so far. Once I reach $25, I'll be using @steemgiftcards to buy a $25 amazon gift cards. Once I get $25 more, I'll buy the second one to fully fund the project.

What is required to build the final machine:

• 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - $36.90 (Its very important that you get the model B and not the other ones, because the Model B is the only one with multiple USB ports)
• 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Case - $7
• 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Charger - $10
• 1x micro sd card. 32 gb is recommended (price not listed because it can vary on capacity you get.)
• Keyboard and Mouse(Not linked or priced because it can vary, and you might have some already)
• 1x Gamepad - $16. You can pick your own for this, you don't have to go with this exact one. Xbox One(and 360)/PS4(and 3) controllers will work too.

Almost everything can be purchased as a bundle on amazon costing about $70 except for the keyboard, mouse and controller. I say its better to buy the items individually, but you do the math, the bundle might be cheaper for you.

All that I make from these posts, as well as the amazon wishlist posts shall go towards funding this machine. Once I get it, I'll be posting a guide on how to turn it into the final product. This goal isn't too expenseive, about $50 (I won't get the case initially and I already have keyboard/mouse and controller), and I already have $4 saved in Steem. If you would like to learn how to build this yourself, just give this post an upvote and fund me closer towards the goal.
