Wyoming Satellites - What's your go-to purchase? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Curious to see how many people here are using Wyoming Satellites, and if so, what are you doing to build/house them?

I have a sample one working on an old pi and a computer speaker hooked up, with my primary Blue mic. Obviously this isn't long term, and I'm looking at building a few of these.

So, what do you use? Raspberry pi? Some sort of hat on it? What sort of casing do you use? Any really cool implementations? I'll take all ideas and suggestions!

I only have one at the moment. I bought a cheap Dell Wyse thin client from eBay, installed a light Linux distro on it and set it up as a Wyoming Satellite and as a snapcast client. That is connected to an old all in one mini HiFi for speakers. For the mic I just have a small omnidirectional USB mic plugged into the front. Biggest hassle setting it up was ALSA since snapcast and Wyoming were fighting over the devices
