Raspberry Pi = New Gen of Small Cabs?

HDMI doesn't support VGA, so you would need a converter to hook this up to a VGA monitor. It will work fine with DVI though. HDMI to DVI cables are pretty cheap on Amazon, and a lot nicer to use than an adapter.

And you didn't get the unit until the end of March, which I thought was a bit crap. But they are going to start building the A model with 256mb (For Linux in Ram use).
The DVI will not work with VGA as it is DVI-D. No Analog coming out, but that is no big deal. They will all be headless anyway. ;D
I was going to buy one, but fell asleep at 4am (6am was pi time) but I am sure there will be plenty by next month.
I heard the e-commerce servers crashed at 6am. :laugh2:
I'm working on a solar cell project when I get one of the model A units serving my home network and Internet. Yummy.
Puppy Arcade is working on a port, which should get you all-in-one control panel gurus excited. :lol

I really want to replace the mini computer (I can't remember what its called, but it runs Windows Embedded or CE or something) and I'm hoping one of these guys will do the trick. Windows can be a pain in the butt some times, especially when trying to do a standalone project.

It's a little big.... I'd wait for Cotton Candy!

Cotton Candy...Quad...more memory, wifi/BT = Awesome + probably expensive.
--- Quote ---The Pi has a become a shadow of its former premise, being more expensive than expected, in need of a lot more work than expected (no ports attached by default) and way bigger than the pound-coin sized unit that got everyone's attention

You are thinking of the model A. With the added 256MB. Yes, that got my attention, but the Model B was designed for the developers to churn out apps (which they will) creating a huge user base.
Exciting times ahead Craig! :cheers:
