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!

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.

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.
