This is a joke. The master of the rez doesn't even browse the forum before started a new thread. For shame.

But I do own one. They are pretty cool. Haven't got around to doing much with it though. Been just too busy.

You won't win GetSome'er of the year with this nonsense Tiwa :P

They do look very cool though. I'd like to own one but I feel like I wouldn't use it for its full potential.

They're Linux right? I no know Linux.

I spose if they can run old games and Windows XP, I could find a use....

Sounds all good in da hood. But I suppose powering it off a TV would be pretty dodge regardless, given that the TV gets turned off quite often, haha.

Ordered mine yesterday, plus case :D

Raspberry vs Rasberry!

Either way: I claim this thread for a Raspberry Pi vs Cotton Candy showdown thread!

edit: Could I get a Merge to the Rasberry thread please?

At $50 for the Ethernet enabled version, it seems to be a pretty good deal.

My flats Viera tv keeps crashing on some video files. Said files work perfectly well on PC/Laptop via HDMI.

Can this be used as a processor for powering the brain of an army of nucleared powered cyborg robots consiting of a metal endoskeleton covered by living human tissue?


If it fits the above requirements, I would be intrested.

Harden up you wuss. Linux is easier than the microsofts.
Plus you'll find that most old games are either ported or will work in wine.
and that most indy stuff was cross platform to begin with.

No.

I thought the C-64 Joystick Emulators were weird, but these things take the cake. Still so strange to see something that size be more powerful than an xbox.

I'm curious about that. When it can just handle full detailed quake 3, would it be able to handle xbox games?

Pic related, Its a sexy beast.

Open it in a seperate tab / save it if you want to see it in all its glory.
