Pi 3B+, power supply, case, SD card and controllers would easily be cheaper separate and with an extra clock boost and built in wifi. Still haven't seen a true decent Pi deal since other places have them so low in cost.

I have this kit. It's a bit sparse on instructions but pretty easy to get up and running. The sd card absolutely sucks, so I had to use a spare I had laying around. For playing retro console games in their native 4:3 aspect ratio on this screen you need to change the settings in retropie to a screen resolution of 1280x800 which is a custom setting. Overall a fun kit and a nice screen but the controllers are pretty junky and like I said the sd card is trash. Like most people said probably better off sourcing the components yourself.

More expensive than the parts X( Also, I have that case. It's pretty CRAP. Pi 3: $35 Case: literally $3 Generic Screen: ~$25-$45 Two knockoff SNES controllers: $10 SD Card?: $15
Total Price: ~$110

Is there any info on the screen itself? As in a model number or manufacturer?

The display should be 4:3 for a proper retro station

Mine came with a bad micro SD, image took 18 hours to write and crashed on boot, I purchased a new class 10 sd card and image wrote in 7 minutes. I ran a scan on the card it showed 87% bad sectors. I wouldn't recommend buying this kit, spend a couple bucks extra and get a kit on Amazon and the other parts separate.

Gadz2001I agree, my SD card did not last the first write and second boot after patching the OS. There are better kits on amazon with a similar price.

for audio, i just used headphones via the audio jack, but any wired computer speakers will work
i mounted it to the back of the screen at first, but it was kind of a mess of wires coming out in all directions, so i removed it from the screen & put it in the black case -- if you're asking how to mount it to the screen, i just went by the photo in the slideshow; no case, and the pi screwed in two corners into those spacers: https://goo.gl/CV7GGD

yaygrrThanks. I couldn't get the screws through the Pi's board. I can see how that is more of a mess though. I finally managed to get everything up and running with ROMs etc. You have been a big help.
