In this study, a Raspberry Pi-based mini-PC is designed and developed to provide an affordable solution for various computing demands. The project includes detailed instructions on using widely available peripherals and the necessary software to manage and configure Raspberry Pi boards. The suggested method describes in detail how to assemble hardware, install software, configure the system, and modify the operating system to improve usability and performance. The integration of essential parts, such as the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board, microSD card, power supplies, and optional add-ons like a 5-inch touch-screen display, keyboard, mouse, and protective casing, is crucial to this project. From the initial installation to system fine-tuning based on individual user requirements, the paper offers a comprehensive guide on configuring and optimizing the Raspberry Pi OS (such as Raspbian or other similar Operating Systems). With the help of this methodical approach, users can construct a flexible, effective mini-PC that can be used for professional, hobby, and educational purposes. This study intends to empower a broad audience-from students and educators to tech enthusiasts-to utilize Raspberry Pi's capabilities as a potent, adaptable, and easily accessible computing platform by comprehensively documenting each stage.
