Post by: abispac on August 28, 2012, 11:18:05 am
Ivee seen a couple of ideos on youtube, but i wana hear from the experts here at BYOAC , do you guys think its worth buying a pi for this purpose? the cheapest pi i found its 65dlls on ebay, thought it was going to be 30dlls, as for 65 i can buy one of those mini itx motherborads that will get better performance. Lets see some coments on the PI...thanks  :cheers:

You can buy them direct from Newark for $35, you just have to wait...

I believe the wait time is only about 5 weeks now, which isn't exactly fast but not miserably bad.  Shipping is not free now though, although apparently some people who ordered early may have gotten free shipping (I'm still not clear on that).  Mine was $43 and change with shipping.
