I'm interested to get one to play around with. Shouldn't you be selling cheaper compare to online new unit?
Btw. Is it safe to get from element14 site? what's the lead time for the delivery if anyone of you buy it before?
Thanks.

if there is stock, order before 2pm, will recieve next day itself. Gdex.

IC.. It's showing as below. It's only available in Sin and UK.. Does this means it's OK to ship to Msia too?
Btw.. what other peripheral that I need to purchase?
Thanks.

RASPBERRY-PI - RPI-B-512-CASED - SBC, RASPBERRY-PI (B) 512MB, CASED
Availability: SG 393 , UK 32
Price For: 1 Each
Minimum Order Quantity: 1
Order Multiple Quantity: 1
Unit Price: RM150.00

as long its in SG, it would be delivered on the next dat itself if no other issues involved.
Ordered huge number of stuffs with them already. (company purpose)

Peripherals, i would not suggest form element14.
Some yeah, depends on your needs.

HDMI- quite cheap - no need for headless. First time set up, YES u need HDMI
Later part can use SSH or vnc- if in case for automation purpose.
Normal media player obviously hdmi is imp.

wireless adapter - get edimax- pretty good. but u need to set up script for autoconnect
(usually it disconnects for no reason) . can be done using crontab

key board mouse depends.

Most important - SD card. get a compatible ones. I did face data corruption issues on sandisk
after 1 month of intense use, intense (write to card almost 3 to 5 times per second)
I noticed SONY card did pretty well.

I do have my own HDMI cable and also SANDISK 8GB SDHC..
for power, i can use my S III charger for it, right?
guess I just need to buy the unit without any additional peripheral..

yeah, normal samsung chargers would do.. as long 750mah should b fine

i tried powering up my pi with even 450mah, headless. - no issues
runs fine for almost a week, with constant wireless data transmissions
(but only one usb port would work)

even pc usb port would do, again depends.
i already left pi, now trying up with metro ui for my new radio app after blazing radio.

Good luck !

Thanks bro.. seem like purchasing the device with separate casing is much cheaper..
will get it either today or tmr..

pretty much true. but i have never used a casing.
you can make one actually..

done the order.. but seem like the one without casing not available in SG.
just know that I'm being charge RM20 for the shipping..

wah a week back i saw free shipping.. guess april onwards its being charged.. haiz.. too late bro.. anyways good luck with ur new gadget!

Hi, shadow111
Please call/contact to element14 today immediately, tell them to waive the RM20 shipping charges,
as you knew that is free shipping ads in their home page, weblink:
http://my.element14.com/jsp/bespoke/bespoke3.jsp?bespokepage=e14/common/promotions/freefreight.jsp&ICID=ap-freefreight-rb
Look at the item #6: "Under "Special Instructions" dropdown, select the option "Other" and type "Free Freight".
Tell them that you forget to put the special code.
Act fast!
Hope I could help you to save some $$
This discussed before in this thread, search "RM20 shipping" and you will know.

thanks bro.. seem like i make the silly mistake of ordering it with separate casing and the amount is less than RM150..

Just receive this mail.. how come we cannot purchase online for personal use?
Anyone face the same issue? Any other place to buy? thundermatch charge RM25 for delivery..

Thank you for ordering with us.

Send it to your office or home address and say it is for company use.

Does this means it's ok for company use but not personal? u sure?

Sure lah. Try that b4 and other people also had done that too.
