## Hardware
Not all hardware works perfectly with the Pi, so you'll want to do some digging. The product links are a configuration that's known to work, though:
* Raspberry Pi 2 ([verkkokauppa.com](https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/4657/fjxtn/Raspberry-Pi-2-model-B-yhden-piirilevyn-tietokone))
* 8+ GB microSD card ([verkkokauppa.com](https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/6501/dcmkv/Transcend-8GB-microSDHC-muistikortti-Class-10))
* Micro-USB power source (most people will have these laying around)
* Display cable, either
* Regular HDMI for televisions, or
* HDMI-to-DVI for computer displays
Optional extras:
