Raspberry Pi - $35 Linux computer

[labcoattech]

Does anyone have a spare RS code?

anyone know if a 5.7V / 800mA is ok for the Rpi or is it much?

also where are you all planning to buy the case?

For anyone planning to use this with RASPBMC who has an iphone... the XBMC Remote app is an absolute must.

Gets rid of the need for a keyboard and mouse completely.

I'm liking the modmypi ones. I want something that will enclose the card rather than a top and bottom leaving it exposed at the sides. The ModmyPi ones seem to be coloured though, can't see any transparent cases yet. I would like something like that for the one I'll be using at work (high school in London).

HaHa When mine arrived I didn't have a USB Keyboard and mouse, had to go out and buy a Value one from a 24H Supermarket

Mine was delivered at the weekend and now I have an HDMI cable I've installed Raspbmc and am playing around with it. Have managed to get it running and playing video files as well as streaming from iPlayer, ITV Player and 4OD

Hopefully this will be able to replace my old Shuttle based media centre as it's much smaller, much lower power, and silent!

Oh, and I got my Element14 t-shirt, as well

 

[Semple]

I didn't get a tshirt and i had mine delivered a few weeks ago . Was there something you had to do to get one?

 

[MarkLP]

Where did you guys get the download for raspbmc? I've Looked around for it but can't see to find it?

Download link is about halfway down... Or, here

Just dump it onto your SD card with Win32DiskImager and let it install on the Pi...

Ideal cheers!

I'd missed the boat on getting in on the earliest pre-orders, but once RS/Farnell both were announcing their 'waiting list' signup things, I put myself down on RS' (Farnell wanted my personal data and to use it for various purposes to which I said **** that), and today got my invitation to place my order.

Just in case anybody pitched theirs in around the same time or soon after and is still waiting, shouldn't be long now.
