Hmm OK. I'll look into it more once I've built my own computer.Yeah from RS Components. They may be able to ship you one to Australia.The cost of the R-Pi was around £25 + VAT (so around £50 once I got the SD card and the HDMI cable and so on).

Ok so nooby question. Wtf is that raspberry PI thingy ma bob?
http://www.raspberrypi.org/ it's a small computer intended for schools with the intention that kids program on them in their IT lessons. They're very new at the moment.
I quite like mine. Over the summer holidays I'll put together a thread all about it.

Sounds awesome. Can it play crysis?........
Definitely. 1080p maxxed out.
Joking of course. I think the fact that it runs some sort of Debian is the first problem you'll have trying to get Crysis to work. Second problem is the SD card is only 4GB.
Nah it's made for programming. Can program in VB.NET now, going to use my R-Pi to learn how to program in Python and possibly C# but I may just use Visual Studio on Windows for C#.

Stupid nooby question. But what does that all mean lol. What does it actually do lol. Like what can you do with it after youve programmed it?
You make your own programs using the provided software on the Raspberry-Pi. Python, VB.NET and C# are just different languages. My R-Pi runs some flavour of Debian (which in turn is a flavour of Linux I believe) on it, but all the software which allows you to program and code your own applications are installed on it.
I've been programming in VB.NET for 2 years now on Windows and I've made a few small apps in that time. I've not really had a play with the R-Pi yet, been busy with schoolwork and other things, but over the summer break (in 2 weeks or so) I will play with it and start learning Python.
That's my 'goal' if you like for the summer holidays to stop me getting bored. I learned VB.NET over the summer holidays when I was 12.
That makes it kinda look like a mini fridge.

nice case. Nice setup. but Cables... Looks like a complete lack of any kind of management at all there. I would go crazy with that. I am going crazy as is with mine. Need some conduit and fittings to hide them away nicely. (talking outside the case)
pic of mine here. Before. The after will come tomorrow and when the 480 comes in. Should be mid next week maybe. Hopefully sooner.
again, forgive the mess.
why the side is off in the first place
whole setup, nicely managed, and slightly changed from last night.

I completely agree. I hate my cable mess. My biggest problem, is that one of my ethernet cables is about 50 feet long and thats just going from my Xbox to my router which is about 3 feet away (all the grey cable to the very right) and I have thought about using zipties to clean it up but this is not a permanent setup so I dont wanna mess with zipties just yet until I get a more permanent entertainment setup.
EDIT: After looking at the PCI-E cable blocking the number on my gfx it was starting to really bother me. So I did some minor cleaning:

3M makes cable management ties, however for the most part i just with tiny cables, i do this kinda job to em:
Looks much nicer than the zip ties or other things, tempted to do it to my SATA cables too, their pretty stiff and will hold a form well after being wrapped around

wow, you didn't know Debian is based off Linux, and you bought a raspberry pi!? :gun: I'm joking
I used to be really into the is environment, I must have tried 8 operating systems on a old Lappy.

I knew Debian was a sort of Linux before I got the R-Pi.
I don't really know all that much about Linux though. I don't really use it, contrary to my avatar.

Yeah. It is linux program. I used it a lot. I can do therminl also. What kind of linux you have on your R-Pi? Ubuntu?
