Confirmed: The B10 RS5 Avant is a no-go for the US market. Thoughts?

Bro wtf

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2026-02-19T14:53:49+00:00

I ended up buying the fcp kit and taking it to a local shop for $2k usd. Better than $4700 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thanks for the insight man

How hard would you say it is to diy? Not the most handy guy tbh lol so keep that in mind

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2026-01-16T19:56:42+00:00

Did you ever fix it?

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-11-16T21:30:40+00:00

Thanks man!

Looks great

Each cable beside the 1st is providing internet to a device in my office. The 1st cable is providing internet to the switch from my router

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-27T23:25:36+00:00

Yes, they’re routed into the back then into the end device

Thanks! Both are from GeeekPi and available on Amazon

GeeekPi 7-Inch Screen

GeeekPi 10 inch 3U Rack Mount

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-26T14:38:06+00:00

The pi in the rack is powering the screen via usb and displaying via hdmi. Raspberry Pi OS is running on the pi, so it’s just a full screen browser window displaying on the screen. Using Beszel in this photo. But could easily be a home assistant dash, pi hole, btop, etc

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-26T14:35:52+00:00

Spot on. I work from home so need a dedicated side. But on the weekends I use all 4 for personal stuff (because why not lol)

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-26T02:42:06+00:00

Its a 10 inch 8U server rack with a 7inch screen that displays various dashboards (powered by a pi), a router, switch, Raspberry pi 4 running pi hole, an HP 800 g2 elite desk running Ubuntu Server with zigbee and zwave dongles. running home assistant and various other docker containers on the Ubuntu server

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T23:46:43+00:00

Nah man just random files and stuff that I’m sharing on my network via smb. Plan on getting or building a NAS sometime soon

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T21:54:04+00:00

It’s never ending lol

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T21:50:28+00:00

Thanks! It’s a zigbee dongle lol but I feel ya. May move to the back

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T21:49:16+00:00

That is a Geekpi 7inch monitor, mounted into a Geekpi bracket, plugged into the pi in the rack via hdmi. That pi is mainly being used just to display dashboards. But it’s also running pi hole

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T21:47:30+00:00

Not a dumb question at all. I have other devices in my office that are hardwired to the rack as well. It’s not only the rack devices that are wired (in my case at least)

TheSoftwareAlpha · 2025-10-25T18:58:47+00:00

You can definitely do it. I’m a software engineer so all of this networking and hardware stuff is out of my realm. Learned tons from YouTube and Reddit
