rygosixYep. It sucks. The SD was corrupt... Hdtune showed every sector red.
No frame for the screen and the screen requires a hard line connection... Was planning to use as a remote... The power brick was giving intermittent connection.. Had to swap it out... The pi board works just fine and with a new SD,
Mini usb/usb cable and power block.
Just buy the board/case/SD somewhere else.

rygosixSo this is your first time building something I take it? I get your complaint but the reason you feel burned is not massdrop, its that you as a consumer weren't informed. Also, components get shipped and packaged in a zillion ways - some professional, some just to get them out the door. A component is not a shiney fancy curated collection of nonsense, it is a widget. Put it in a bag - throw in some wires and other junk and jobs done.

P1MPBOT5000As a consumer, he wasn't informed because of Massdrop. At some point companies earn the trust of their customers - it's vital not to abuse that trust if you want to keep it.
Don't get me wrong, I understand "buyer beware", but crap advertising feels sketchy from a company that positions itself as wanting to build trust with its clientele

I saw 7" R Pi kit. I presume that is a nicely put together kit curated by massdrop and that someone at massdrop must have atleast some knowledge on this to curate it to be worth our attention and offer it as discount.
The touchscreen has tons of parts and wires that barely fit inside the cardboard box it come in once all plugged together. The touchsreen doesn't even include a power supply. The case is nice but when you put all the heatsink on the pi it doesn't fit in case. Looking up the prices for these things on amazon post respect I discovered this massdrop was actually more expensive than amazon.
It's like they threw a bunch of crap in a box and stuck it on here at a marked up price to try and trick people into buying it. I thought massdrop was better.
