Good luck, took about 40 days for my dongle adapter to come (from Hong Kong).

Been waiting for 4 weeks now since paying for my Pi so not in a position to comment what I'm currently doing but I will be using XBMC for starters.

Any nice cases people have discovered yet? Nothing about that has floated my boat yet. :mad:

Ouch, really any bluetooth dongle should work? Might try and get a keyboard/mouse set
 
What type of case do you want? I have a laser cutter here, if you can knock up some drawings or sketches, I am sure I can work something out!

Wouldn't know where to start!

If I was any good at graphics I'd quite fancy designing some scaled down retro console looking case, SNES or similar :D

That would be really cool!!
 
Got my RPi today!

Just stuck Debian on there to get started and play around. Weirdly enough I had to change USB power cables because the first one I tried caused issues with the keyboard.
 
Well, I have one coming to me. Trust me your case ideas and I can see what I can do to get the most popular made. I am very busy though! It would be mostly made from 3mm acrylic sheet.
 
Anyone have any idea what the current waiting estimate time on these are?

Registered an interest a couple of weeks ago on Farnell, just wondering how many months I'll be waiting xD

Jesus, I still haven't got mine from Farnell... Seriously not amused.

I placed order on day of release :|.

Might as well just cancel and buy a couple of Ben & Jerrys, much more useful.

Well I would cancel... if they gave me ANY contact details at all, considering it's a pre-order and not in their systems.

There are loads like that on eBay, I would make it from 3mm thick plastic, as 2mm is harder to come by, and I have loads of 3mm in various shades and colours.
