Dieselboy:
I'm curious what kind of glases you have in mind..

for protection: put it in a small Pelican case. Done. Water/dust/shock proof.

probably something like this

FYI: I know Tigerdirect has visor-mounted displays in the $70USD range... let me see if I can scare up a link...

OK, not Tiger, but first thing I found... and it's almost half the price... http://www.google.com/products/catalog? ... HgQ8gIwAg#

Looks bad ass, I wish it had WiFi built in though. I know you can just plug in a USB dongle, it'd be nice on board though. If I had a use for one I'd certainly buy one.

The girtboard add-on looks like win too.

So we needed a new TV to replace our old 25" CRT at the house (yes, what kind of geek doesn't have a flatscreen bigscreen TV? This guy, till last night )...

Brought home a 40" LCD flatscreen last night with USB, 3 HDMIs, composite in/out, S-video, blah blah blah...

Yes, having an HDMI port was a requirement, mostly because of the availability of the RPi...

Can't wait till these come out- I will definitely be grabbing a couple! 4XPC use, XBMC, and who knows what else!

Just came across this explanation in a bit-tech.net article on it.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/pcs/20 ... m-machine/

Check out this info- apparently the RPi is more powerful than an Iphone 4s...

http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/ras ... -20120125/

So apparently they updated yesterday. The RPi "B" is supposed to be on sale by the end of the month.

Stolen by monkeys from Slashdot:
■The Model A (128 MB RAM, no ethernet port) is $25
■The Model B (256 MB RAM, ethernet port) is $35
The first run is of the Model B, as they anticipate more people are interested in that set of hardware. Their FAQ [raspberrypi.org] likely provides more in-depth information that what I have provided here.

...And it's on sale.

That sucks. I'd like to at least get my hands on one and check the thing out.

It was a bit of a disaster tbh, they were massively let down by their suppliers websites crashing

Shame really, I don't think I will bother buying one myself now as the initial excitement is gone. My friend is now going to get a pandaboard

I found a place here in Canada taking pre-orders, so I put one in. They're quoting 30-day lead times right now... which is fine. I still got a lab exam to study for

I'm going to wait a bit. I want to stick xbmc on there eventually. Maybe make it run a few others things as well

I got my AppleTV for XBMC. I'm not sure what I want to do with it... Maybe run all my internal DHCP/DNS/ stuff from it? Maybe buy a TV for my den and connect it to that? Maybe use it to take over the world?
