QUOTE(general_odin @ Feb 29 2012, 09:36 PM) The Raspberry Pi $35 open-source computer has gone on sale, how to buy?and early demand for the incredibly capable mini-PC has already seen retail partner sites melt down under the stress. Announced back in 2011, as part of the $25 computer project, the $35 version is the more advanced “Model B” unit which has seemingly grabbed the attention of developers and tinkerers. Meanwhile, the $25 “Model A” version is going into production now.  Although the Raspberry Pi was intended as an educational tool, with the foundation behind the computer hoping to motivate schools into teaching programming skills as part of the curriculum, its surprisingly potent processing power quickly grabbed the focus. Early demos showed it capably running Quake III, with subsequent demos showing unofficial AirPlay support. In fact, the Model B is tipped to have twice the GPU power of the iPhone 4S and be capable of roasting NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 in raw grunt.  You can find details on how to buy over at the Raspberry Pi site, though at time of writing one retailer, Farnell, is sold out, and the other is asking for would-be buyers to “express interest” with next deliveries expected at the end of next week. The stock took just two hours to be depleted. [attachmentid=2711959] » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  |

I couldnt wait any longer so I placed an order with element14. $145RM shipped to Malaysia address.
I have 5v 2amp dc power brick, I guess I might have to wire the mini-usb cable to it myself. Or I can power it via a powered usb hub. I wonder if it will work. Also gotta get some 32GB SD card that works. When the bundle and case come out, I will buy a second one with extra cables and some SD card that have proven quality and speed. My estimated ship date is after July 2012... and it doesnt say on July... it is after... so it could be 2200 Edit: HAHA seems like a new updata on raspberry pi website on element14. "We now have in excess of 100,000 confirmed orders for the Raspberry Pi globally and can confirm that everyone who ordered before 18th April (i.e. today!) will definitely receive their Raspberry Pi before the end of June 2012" I ordered on the 16 of april. woot!

Im afraid im going to burn out the board with my current skill base on the picture and the spec, it could operate with any 5V adapter.U might just buy a phone charger that uses a USB port, and plug the mini-USB cable to the board, while plug male port to the adapter. Easy chop mate  |

Finally got my Raspberry Pi yesterday (May 7) after waiting since February 29
 I ordered an hour after the launch from http://my.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspb...el-b/dp/2081185 for RM145 (delivery RM20 included).Shipped to Penang from Subang Jaya via GDEX, it's one of the 4k units shipped by element14 to Asia. My order came in an envelope with bubble wrap. The Pi itself was in a small box wrapped in ESD bag. Booted off from Debian on KINGSTON 16GB 100X SD10-HC with 24" Samsung S24A350H LED monitor via HDMI. I am using 5V 800mA micro USB phone charger (modified internally to include a simple 7805 voltage regulator circuit to ensure stable 5V). [EDIT] Apparently 800mA is not actually sufficient to provide steady supply to the Pi as there are momentary spikes that drain more than that (not sure how much) when I have active network activities going on through the Ethernet port. Looking around, 5V 1A is better suited for the Pi at least for this model B. Off to control some Amazon EC2 nodes for now This post has been edited by ayeowch: May 10 2012, 08:30 AM |

I'm using Debian but only SSH to it from another computer. Load at 0.2. The SSH session started to lag badly as soon as I plugged in the HDMI cable to an external display.Going to try install Debian today. Interested to know what is the power supply that you are using? |
