Raspberry Pi !
 

Its a complete computer, size of a credit card, that has been developed in the UK... It runs linux...

Big Woop? Well, no, no really, but its gonna sell for about $34.00 ! Yup thirty four bucks! Even cheaper when china gets hold of it, and rips off the tech...

Mostly designed as a gaming-in-between PC component, its an amazing breakthrough...

The original test run, are selling at $1700 plus on Ebay- BUT ONLY AT THAT PRICE FOR CHARITY...

Kind of like buying a car from Kyrgyzstan or a HDTV manufactured in Sierra Leone. :1orglaugh

I'm going to order a few of the $35 model once they are released.

Glad someone gets it ! I make a sensible post, and it looked like no one cares !

I intend to order about ten to begin with, install mame, and wire them into Jamma harnesses... !!

I've been watching the development of these for about a year now. I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on some. I have so many ideas.

That's a pretty cool idea too actually.

I have a lot of my movie content ripped and stored in a central location on the home network. These would be great loaded with XBMC and plugged into the TVs to use as an HTPC. From what I can gather, they will be able to handle 1080p video with no problems.

Very cool.

cool stuff :thumbsup

ARM are UK based.

So yeah, as I was saying...

I thought the same when I posted about this :(

Exactly ! :thumbsup

I'll be getting one, or a hundred if I build a product on it. I have some ideas.
