they better have stock! lol

going to order one soon. the free delivery offer is only till the end of November ?

the link posted by skywardsword shows for limited time only

53C is with the heat sink installed or without? my Rpi just arrived today, can't wait to go back to my home town and start toying around with it.

sorry to ask, but how do you use the bigger heatsink (100mmx100mm) with the Rpi?

haha nope, i think the three heatsinks is good enough for me. all i have in mind is just to make the pi as a media player for an old flat screen. and maybe another one as a NAS in the future. love the fact that it is small,cheap and power efficient. can't wait to see what they'll come out with in the future models

i have ordered twice during this offer, they wont deduct the 20 straight away in the website. normally they will show the free shipping offer in the invoice emailed to you.

if the item is still processing, just email them and tell that you forgot to put the free freight special instruction. that is what i did when i first ordered my pi and they helped to change it to free freight for me

true! they should have just show the free delivery at the website, easier. lol. yeap they are damn fast, i got my Rpi and HDMI cable the following day.

now just waiting for the clear case enclosure to arrive tomorrow! read the reviews that this case is one the best fit for the Rpi . they have just re-stocked the case 14++ left in SG @ RM28.70

this guy made a better layout based on the punnet cardboard case. he tried the punnet case and there were some parts that do not fit nicely, so he improved the layout here http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6500 just remember to print in actual size.

eh, even c-fu bought the clear one

damn, pi flavours eh, damn nice. definitely a premium case, 22 euro.

lucky youuu! i ordered a case and a usb to microusb cable, ordered wednesday after midnight, so technically thursday early morning. eta given was friday, and based on previous shipment, the item would be delivered the following day if you ordered in the morning or before afternoon. but it did not arrive on friday, have to wait for monday, gah. haha now i am out of town and cant use the case till next thursday. thank god for an old cassette case found in the storage room

same here! i thought mine was from UK, i just checked the box and didnt pay much attention to the board itself. i have only noticed when another forumer said that black audio port is made in china.

the case from element 14 fits nicely! the board doesnt move at all if you try to shake the case

lol, true. technodude, hopefully you'll get a uk version. but i have read that element14 still produce some in china for asia market and because demand is high

@kid.itech
the multicomp cases fit very nicely, i have the clear one and if you try to shake the whole thing, nothing would move. so, pretty good fit

yes it can. when i am home, i have the Rpi(running raspbmc) connected to my family's shared folders on their laptops and pc all via wireless network, everything works fine so far.

this is a bit off topic from raspberry pi, but it is regarding Rpi's alternative, the ODROID. it is getting an official nightly from CyanogenMod. not surprising since it is an Exynos based device, but hell.

can refer at the cm dev's G+ posts here https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts

can order from elements14 malaysia

both are the licensed manufacturers for Raspberry Pi. they should be the same.

Just check to make sure you are getting the latest revision if you getting the model B. the newer variant has 512MB RAM.

thanks c-Fu for sharing, i couldn't find a thread on the changelog of these revision in R-pi official forum. Would you mind sharing such link if there is any?

i will check my board version later

4-5 days should be accurate. I ordered mine early last year and it shipped from Singapore. ordered at Monday night and got it on Wednesday. last time they had free shipping, so i added in some usb to micro usb cables as well, they are cheaper than branded ones here.

might be better if you use the dynamic dns route. that way you don't have to re setup the IP address everytime. I currently use dynamic dns for my PC as my RPi is only streaming content from the PC.

you can check a guide for dynamic dns for RPi here http://blog.mivia.dk/free-dynamic-dns-for-raspberry-pi/

same thing. bought mine from elements 14 at the same price. both are licensed manufacturers of RPi

a cleaner method indeed.

what are they used for? different tasks? or streaming device for multiple rooms?iinm asus has amd cpu + gpu that is e450, slightly faster but still very cheap. but yeah, there are a lot of affordable motherboard with built in amd cpu+gpu in one die. you'll save a lot there.

or salvage old PC that you have and install linux. i am doing this for my family's usage. faster than winxp and easier to manage.
