Hello. 
I had an Oregon Scientific WM300 and it was running well until the rain measuring part died.  After that, I tried to score a new part from Oregon Scientific but they had stopped trading in the UK (where I am located).  After that, things kind of petered off, and I eventually decommissioned the huge Linux VM on which weewx had been running.  

I'd love to get back into it, so I'm here to ask what recommendations you have for hardware.  I'd want at least as good as the Oregon Scientific - or better.  Hopefully, I'll be running it off of a Raspberry Pi with a good external SS disk. 

Thank you.

I just started again in a similar way, a mix of my old Davis VP2 plus some ecowitt sensors. Now running on a cheap ebay purchase, Dell Wyse 5070 - plenty of capacity. Feeds my website and Home Assistant (on separate boxes)  without issue.

Look at the Ecowitt line. Great for those outside the USA.
