Wow. In one sense, why not? It is good for the purpose on a fairly stable platform. 

But, why does one go through the process of removing the USB connectors? I hope it isn’t for some false sense of security. (In that photo they did such a sloppy removal job, leaving a solder bridge on the comm lines of J11. Ouch!) 

Gérald – did Ymagis/CinemaNext also take off the 4 x USB ports?

Hi !

Here on my 3 CP4230 Christie w/IMS, Rapsberry Pi are used for GUI indeed.

And other RPI's are used in each booth as music player, integrated in TMS.

Done by Ymagis/CinemaNext.

Best regards,

Gérald.

There had been some discussion on this list about using Raspberry PIs for DCP making and checking. 

Now, I just found a PI 3B sitting piggyback on the new GDC SR-1000 IMB:

They just removed the USB sockets. But it sure is a Raspberry PI 3B. It is probably the PI that earns this MB the 'standalone‘. 
No, the PI will not do the heavy (J2K) lifting et al., the MediaBlock itself is below the huge heat sink on the right side of the IMB. The PI will probably just do communications, webinterface/GUI.
