PI HARDER - the budget RISC OS computer with SSD storage as standard
PI HARDER is a RISC OS computer with solid state storage based around the Raspberry Pi 4B. Even though it’s a budget system, it has a
luxury looking aluminium case, and is still a very capable workhorse with the following specifications:
With a temperature controlled internal fan to keep the system cool, it comes overclocked to the max out of the box, and you’ll still struggle to
hear the whisper-quiet fan unless you get very close.
At the front of the case, there are two additional USB ports, SD card slot (for ease of popping out the SD to use Linux or another RISC OS
card!) and a momentary illuminated push button which gives you control over when the system is powered up.
We can even convert your existing Raspberry Pi 4 into a Pi Harder, and you’ll get a substantial discount on the price!

Upgrade your existing system to a PiHarder
If you already own a Pi 4 in a standard plastic case (or no case at all!), we can upgrade your system to one of our PiHarder systems, using our
FOURtify scheme, for a much reduced price. Rather than a trade in scheme, we incorporate your existing hardware into our system, including
installing EDOS on the system at a configuration to suit you.
When installed in our PiHarder system, the Operating Systems can be safely run at 2.3GHz without the risk of overheating. We can even
install EDOS, our RISC OS and Linux Easy Dual Operating System. Using EDOS, your PiHardercan use both RISC OS and Linux, with the
Linux-based Raspberry Pi OS making the best use of a solid state drive over a high speed USB 3 connection. Sadly, it’s so fast, you may
never see the Raspberry Pi splash screen.
Please see the EDOS page for an overview of EDOS, and contact us for details of our FOURtify scheme.
