A different kind of fruity AIO

ravens2792

Old VGA-only monitor + Raspberry Pi + HDMI-VGA adapter= iRasp

 

This only took a few minutes to put together, mostly because I used hardware I already had sitting around, but still, thought it was a neat idea.

First Step: 

Aquire a Raspberry Pi (case optional)

Step Two:

Attach the HDMI-VGA apapter (again, it was an ancient VGA only monitor, otherwise i would have gone digital)

Just four simple steps with such a tasty result! (Probably should have chosen a larger table to put it on! :) )

I'm sure something like this has been done before.

Never said I was the first. Just posted it in the hope it might interest people in other cool Raspberry Pi projects.

I was litelary thinking of doing similar setup but with a tv to work as a light htpc/ stream box. I haven't look into it much, but is the pi strong enough to stream video or watch youtube in 720p?

In my experience, no. You're probably better off going with an android based system-on-a-stick, those are much more capable computing devices, but of course that comes at a higher price.
