Is there a list of recommended SD cards or doesn't it really matter what you use?

Samsung 8GB Class 10 works can be bought for £6, it was mentioned in this thread so quite a few of use are using it.

I got the 16gb Integral as it's only £8.

I'd recommend Samsung 8GB Class 10 SDHC model code: MB-SP8GAEU. Great cards for only £6, fast and made of steel, so much so I bought a few for other uses.

Is there any way to check on the status of the order or do you just have to wait for the elusive, your order has been dispatched email?

Longbow · 26 Jun 2012 at 11:18

They should have an order status if you login to your account, other than that you'll just have to wait.

No login for RS.

Hey guys,

Only found out about these two days ago when a friend got his. Been looking into them and i must say they are fantastic.

Registered on RS however won't hear anything for a while due to a back order etc. I am not willing to pay stupid prices on eBay so if anyone has any spare ones they are selling for cost + p&p let me know. Cheers

I ordered weeks after some people as heard about it late.

Been playing with XBMC and can't wait now to get my Pi, my router handily can act as a NAS too

Dear RO****** ****

Your Raspberry Pi has now been shipped from our warehouse.

- Shame I forgotten what a Raspberry PI is by now.

Received mine today.
Still need to get the other bits to start it up (hdmi cable and sd card) but glad to have it in my hands.
Although the component socket seems to have been soldered on at a bit of an angle.

Anyway, where can I acquire a case for this?

RS do cases, I ordered mine with one.

Where do you buy them? they always seem to be out of stock

Longbow · 28 Jun 2012 at 08:59

RS-online or Farnell, you can't just buy one straight away, you have to enter your e-mail address and they will send you an invite when a space opens up.

rickjames · 28 Jun 2012 at 10:19

Today was my estimated day to order, still nothing yet. Here's to hoping!

Has anybody using raspbmc or openelec got DTS-HD passthrough working?
