[VWS] SBCs are scarce?

[Jacek Radzikowski]

I haven't bought anything on aliexpress recently, but most of my orders
were arriving within a month or two, many even sooner. I think there is a
good chance that you will live long enough to do the unboxing :)
If you don't need to use features specific to Rpi (e.g. the I/O or camera
connectors), you can find thin client PCs on ebay for <$30 shipped. Most of
them are low power PC computers, on which you can run any PC distro.
