Easy Raspberry Pi projects

[Slam]

Anyone got recommendations for easy Raspberry Pi projects?
By easy I mean, no need to program or mod components.

A while ago I saw a pc with led lights behind the monitor that have a real time Ambilight affect. It didn't run on a Pi, it was using an equivalent. A project like that would be good.
