where to buy:
* RS Components
* element4

I've only managed to run raspbmc version of XBMC, haven't tried openELec yet.

I'm using the Raspberry Pi OS Image Downloader to keep track of any interesting OS build to try on my pies (what's the plural of pi?).

found this on element14 website, they will sell it soon maybe, Raspberry Pi case in Black, White, and clear, price will be in RM31.93 per pc.

No hardware mod/hack projects yet?

Thanks
The first link is the official site?
Can't access second link..

Btw, Is is ready to use out of the box? What OS is it running out of the box?
Newbie here.. Sorry

I'm sold... I'm buying this to play around and in the end as a media player.

Order today with the clear case and see when will it arrive

But then later have to add my own wireless keyboard + mouse =/
Have to add my own USB wall charger..

I think will be around RM200... Oh well.

you gotta try openelec
i've used raspbmc before but openelec is much much more faster

Tried openElec latest img from http://openelec.thestateofme.com/. MKV playback is smoother than raspbmc.

Anyone manage to get pi working with touchscreen?

indeed it is
but the update interval for openelec is too fast/often
i.e ; yesterday installed v14,but today alrdy release v15..not pretty sure what are the things that have been updated.
no changelog provided.hmm

simple casing idea from @mfaridahamid

yeah saw it before.heheh

Planning to get one to act as a media player to play vids/music from a NAS. How does the Raspberry Pi B hold up for 1080p video with DTS?

perfectto ! (i'm talking from XBMC point of view)
my RPi is connected to my Dlink DNS-313 and it works well on streaming a 720p & 1080p video.(but with some minor configurations in advancedsettings.xml & config.txt, it will automagically make u sit in front of ur TV 24/7 admiring the awesomeness of it)

My advice is, go get a decent NAS if you wanna stream videos via NAS.DNS-313 is a truly a crappy NAS.

Anybody in the forum carrying ready stock for the Raspberry and the Clear casing?

A RasPi Keyboard Computer
Hackaday Link

Anyone knows how to play rmvb files? Got sound no video

installed v15 openelec.

add-on sky.fm

the sound jerks like crazy. i think it's not using the media chipset. before this, i used raspbian's omxplayer to play "whoppa gangnam style" 1080p video in absolute beauty.

btw, my corp internet leased line can download 200mb file in 3 mins.

never try that addon before
as of now,i just have the youtube plugin installed and it works pretty good.
