Decided to go with banana pi instead, since I want to use it as nas for its gigabit port
The more read about C1's idle temp going from 50 - 70 C, the more I worry I about the lifespan since I plan to have it online 24/7

yes if i work there..
no coz i dunno..hahah

Other than raspberrypi, we have now bananapi, orangepi,

If you want to build a headless server with bananapi, I'd like to recommend you the debian image from here:

didn't know about orange pi before you posted it The amount of components that is built in into it is

Anyone using RasberryPi, BananaPi whatever FruityPi to build a robot? I am thinking to start some project, but don't know what yet. Must be something more physical instead of just a PC doing a specific tasks.

Raspberry PI 2 with OpenELEC Kodi damn stim weiiiii
boot up to the UI in few seconds only.you can really feel the difference of Quad Core & Single core

Wanterd to buy PI 2. Any recommended seller?

Honestly, not sure quiet know what to do with it....maybe want to fool around with those Arduino thingy.

Just grab one from element14, you'll get free shipping too.

Indeed, before this I considered to get android box as Kodi machine but not anymore with rpi2
Do you use hdmi cec or ir remote to control Kodi?

I just use my iPhone as a remote controller.Android also got the apps

Here are your choices for remote:
1. Use your TV remote if your TV's HDMI supports CEC. eg. For Samsung TV's the CEC feature is called AnyNet+
2. Use your mobile phone, download and install Yatse
3. Plug-in a wireless keyboard based on RF (e.g. Logitech K400R or Logictech mk330). I don't recommend bluetooth or IR as these need line of sight.

I already have a logitech harmony remote, just need to import the settings once the ir receiver/remote I ordered arrived
My only problem with HDMI CEC (VierraLink for my Panasonic) is that it doesn't always work right away
Sometime I need to turn off the off/or even change different input before getting it to work,
Obviously this depends on your TV brand if they're really compatible or not
Yatse/Kodi official remote is nice but I prefer something with tactile feedback

Any good power supply/charger to recommend for raspberry pi?

Handphone charger is the best, as well as reliable.

Any handphone charger that works well with raspberry pi?

Will look into it...

i'm using that one.works well in powering up my full LED keyboard,mouse and a 16GB USB drive.
previously i just use my old 1A HTC usb adaptor,works well too.

Hi guys.. Can anybody give me a tutorial how to make a mini server using raspbian?? Server that a lan can access it in..

You can build a webserver, mail server, torrent server, download / ftp server, samba file server ...etc. Many users will be able to guide, if you can specify your interest.
