I'm Glad I bought a few of them when the gettin was good.  It's sad that its come to having to have the alternatives but I get it.  The thing the video doesn't show you is that many of them the accessories are much more than the Pi versions.  Cases and power supplies.  Nice thing is most of them have full size HDMI.  I would maybe do an Orange Pi or the Odroid stuff.  There are versions of the Odroid with much more power processors that could really handle a good multi node BBS with doors.

Let me know what you pick and what your experience is.
