RS Components in the UK are listing an Okdo Rock 5B SBC with 8GB for £107.12 which appears to be a misprice. The 4GB version is £116, the 16GB version is £195 so realistically you'd expect the 8GB version to be somewhere in the middle at about £160 which is what other sites are selling it for. RS have it at £107. All prices + VAT in the UK.
That's the bare board so you need a case/PSU and possibly the heatsink/fan to make it functional but adding all of those brings the price up to £163 inc VAT for an 8GB SBC. A bare 8GB rpi5 without case/PSU/M.2 HAT is £168 so this is £5 cheaper than that including all the bits required to make it functional. In addition you get 2.5GbE not 1GbE, 8 cores not 4, a built in M.2 2280 slot that runs at pcie 3.0 x4 not the x1 for the rpi5.
It's not a *great* deal but it's pretty good.
