Raspbery Pi

Post by Megaross »

Anyone else bought one?
I've got one in the post, I think it's a great concept, a computer the size of a deck of cards for under £50?

Planning to have a mess about then stick RaspBMC on it as a media player for the downstairs tv.

Just need to case it up now, got some offcuts of tonewood knocking about, it may have to be hand carved and a bit rural looking. Still got loads of design ideas knocking about though.

Hmm, I've looked at them, but more tempted to get one of the A9 Android units - it's a tablet, without the screen.

Both tempting....

Tempting, isn't it....

Lots on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keyw ... s89x7a9a_b

Quite fancy one for when I'm on my travels. Can plug into the hotel TVs and watch my own films.
