How the hell do you play Quake 3 with a damn coin?
Insert coin
I'd buy one of these just to tinker with it and mod it in a monitor so I can have an all-in-one.
If the lady on the phone is right. I should get mine next week. But if it doesn't I guess I can wait. Its not like I need it urgently anyway.
[QUOTE=Kopimi;35597011]i tried ordering from element14 like 4 times but they never took any money from my account, but it seems like the orders were a success
are they going to ship me a pie or what seriously what is going on[/QUOTE]
If I recall, they charge your card once it ships.
Right, been trying to find an answer for this, have asked on the Pi forums but have been unable to get an answer.
I am looking to buy a reliable power supply for the Pi, and the power requirements for the Pi are 5v 700ma, is the 700ma the maximum the Pi will draw when under full load (full power draw from the Pi itself, the 2 usb ports, and the ethernet, etc)?

The God of all USB phone chargers.

(Or if you have a USB to Micro USB you can just plug the power right into your computer for power)

700mA is full power with only Pi itself I believe.
Whatever USB is drawing is separate from that, I believe. Note how much I'm using "I believe".
What is for certain, is that if the power drain goes above 1A, it shuts itself down.
Is there any give or take on the power range it requires?
is 5.1v 700mA acceptable?

I'd be careful, the 5V input isn't regulated, it goes straight to the broadcom chip.
5.1V is [I]probably[/I] still safe, though.
USB is supposed to take in 4.9-5.1V but anything outside that range, I wouldn't count on it.
Should work.
Then you could make some sort of handheld out of these?
Like a shitty open pandora?
There's a lot of things you could do this with, one of the things limiting a lot of ideas at the moment is getting a small, good, compact screen for this thing.
There's a small connector on the board to hook up a screen directly to the thing so you don't have to use HDMI, but documentation is non-existent and nobody knows what screens will work with the damn thing.

[B]IN THEORY[/B] the screen used for the iPhone 4 uses the same signal standard as said connector on-board the RPi.
But there's probably all kinds of signal leveling that needs to be figured out.
It should work, but currently it's not child's play.
Gonna order as soon as I've sent the new shipment and got the money

And drivers have to be written to actually use that port. That might take a while.
Aww yeah.

Got a similar one but mine said 14th May.
Mine said 28th, can't wait to accidently brick it
[QUOTE=Eltro102;35730277]Mine said 28th, can't wait to accidently brick it[/QUOTE]
You can't "brick" it, you'd have to physically break it to achieve that state, since you can just wipe the SD card and start all over again.
Ehhh... Better than August I guess?

I have no clue where I ordered mine from as it's been so freaking long. Maybe I'll get it, maybe I won't. No email yet or anything.
Got it off some exclusive Canadian retailer website or something.
Mr Postman brought me my Raspberry Pi today.

Aww yeah! Now all I have to do is think of something to do with it.
Didn't get to thank the Mr.Postman myself.

Apparently I was one of the end-of-april batch.
Dammit, my spare keyboard decided to be useless and my computer keyboard wire is already stuck in my wire management system.
Looks like I'll have to wait.
I got nothing from sk.farnell.com. Says my order is processing, but its been like that since February.
The lack of any information is horrible.
they emailed and said my pi will be shipping the week of may 29th
a bit late but christ at least i'm getting it
Finally managed to order it through RS Components. They're expecting despatch in 3 weeks though..
What cool things have people done with them so far? On the web, not just facepunch.
