Anyone know of anywhere local that sells these apart from Maplins (which seems a little pricey)?

Was looking at using it as low power media centre/file server/retro gaming emulation/etc.

Move a clunky PC out of the way

Anyone got one/used one?
Thoughts/opinions?

I don't know anywhere locally that sells them but these do them for £28

Speak to Gibbo on here he has at least one and might be looking to flog it, or could get one cheap.

Got mine from Allied Electronics for the best price (£28). Absolutely love the thing!!

Ive got it stuck behind my TV with velcro and its powered from the USB port of my TV. Streams 1080p Mkv with no issues.

If you can afford the extra, go for a Tegra. We've got one here at work and it pees all over the Pi performance wise.

Working desktop from cold in four seconds.

I'll have a look at them thanks

tegra are more than £30... the idea of the pi is to be lowe powered and not cost the earth

wishtrac.com - they sell raspberry pi's and based in moreton some where
