Raspberry Pi
 

Just took the plunge. Been a fan of Linux for awhile. Like the minimalist approach here. Minimalist...yeah! Didn't go minimalist on the case I got for it but, that's kinda how I roll! :D

Anyone else running one of these?

The whole computer:

The (over the top) case I got for it:

Interesting, tell me more... What does it do? Whats it for? Can it browse interweb porn?

I hope so! What the hell else are computers used for? :deal

wow, thanks! i'd read about these a while ago, before they were a reality. I'd been interested in seeing what they could be used for, but I completly forgot about them till you posted this!

I plan on getting one or two, mainly just to play with (robotics, servo controller etc etc) and possibly one to run a 24/7 webcam I have out in the garage.

I must have one for a media server! XBMC here I come. Can you post a link to where you bought that case, I love it!

Thanks.

Awesome case.....though I'm scared to ask the cost considering the computer itself is 35-50.

I'll probably get one soon and go the lego route:

I donno. Have you seen how expensive legos are these day? :huh

75 bones for the case, just found it.

Where'd you get it? Last I checked the US seller was out of stock with like 7200 on pre-order

I've got a huge bin of 80's vintage ones somewhere in storage.

Edit: Just went on Amazon and Lego wants 60 bucks for 9 pieces :eek they are the big bottom ones.....larger than the pi but still they probably cost 4-6 cents each to make.

I've been interested and reading about these. Wired had the top ten things to do with a Pi. 6 or 7 of those 10 was putting them in fancy cases.

What are you doing with it? And what did you have to do to set it up?

If I was going to replace my router....no, I wouldn't use this.

XMBC client perhaps? Seems that most blu-ray players have a DLNA client these days.

Arduino is better for instrumentation and virtually everything else that doesn't require video output.

I guess I don't understand why these things exist. Hopefully someone figures something out soon.

Cheap ass computers.....

35 dollars, 5 dollar mouse, 5 dollar keyboard, and you're good to go. Just hook it up to your TV.

Or become "Mista Computa".
