I would just use a usb portable harddrive to store my wallet in, only reconnect it to the blockchain if any important updates or forks are happening.. else just keep sending my savings into the address of that wallet and one day sync it up and see the balance increase now and then. Smiley

Raspberry Pi with 64GB sd card?

Why do you need 64GB? You only need to store the wallet file (private keys) in your Ras Pi.

'Cause somebody talked about armory.

You only need to have the blockchain on the online PC with Armory, the offline PC only holds your wallet.

I have private messages disabled. Send me an email instead. My contact details can be found here.

Just use one without wireless module, it will not connect to internet unless you plug the wire.
