A Three Raspberry Pi Home

We are currently running three Raspberry Pi’s in our house.

The first is a Pi 2, running in our garage, and acting as our general home server.  It acts as a NAS device (running SAMBA) for backups and hosting video files, a torrent seed box (with remote access) and the server for this WordPress installation.

The second is another Pi 2, running in our den, with a partially complete RetroPie installation – providing old school arcade and console gaming opportunities.  Nothing  beats sitting down for an old Nintendo or Atari 2600 classic on a 42″ HDTV.

The third is an older Pi Model B (which previously served as our general home server, before being replaced with the Pi 2, now runs in our mud room to provide an always up-to-date electronic calendar of the family’s events over the next four weeks.

More information on each to come in the future, but I at least wanted to get this out there for people looking for ideas as to practical uses for a Raspberry Pi.
