(dont even have case, have to buy separately now. yet to see a bundle with all those included) Will hvae to bring your own, hdmi, micro-usb cable connected to your own usb 5v, 1amp power brick. Will also need a SDcard. Monitor/TV-via hdmi or component(component is shit though) Keyboard, mouse, ethernet cable. Hardware wise, as a start, i think thats it. You might not need a usb hub, but if you need power might as well get a powered usb hub with 2amp powerbrick so you could run it that way. I run my Pi via ssh, so I dont have my hdmi, keyboard and mouse connected. When I get into the hobby work, probably I would have myself a dedicated workstation area. Visit http://www.raspberrypi.org/ browse around the site for the pertinent information and the community. Thanks for your information. It helps a lot.

My sony tv seems like got cec... but sony made it such that they work with sony product only.. (however, I think hackers will get it fixed Not sure about the amp rating. It didn't state anything on the cover. I get this http://my.element14.com/dynamode/usb-h70-1...=New%20Products

Regular Senior Member 1,635 posts Joined: May 2005	QUOTE(skywardsword @ Aug 31 2012, 10:31 AM) 14 ringgit more then just the adapter alone. I guess can swallow. Plus can bump the 111 rasp pi to above 150 and save 20 bucks on shipping. not so bad I count. Can't really test it as I haven't receive my Pi. I can't wait to test the CEC. Just wonder where to check do my tv support CEC.

Man why cant they just have the USB charger in stock. I will test the 256MB version then only decide should I go for 512MB on my next board. QUOTE(edex @ Sep 3 2012, 01:13 PM) Loonsave, when u order your pi? Do yo know how to cancel order? I just order mine on 1 sept. No idea, I think you better call to their customer service to check it out.

Smooth - it takes some time to copy over via putty psftp. Stream from PC via ethernet and external HDD. Both same result.

Regular Senior Member 1,635 posts Joined: May 2005	» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(skywardsword @ Sep 13 2012, 04:52 AM) I got around to do some testing with raspbmc + transmission. I have it connected to sony tv40BX420 - donnu got DTS or not, but seems like it works, got an old Pioneer Dolby Surround sound amp that was was working for a Lazer disc player. The sound pass thru to the amp no problem, tv also got sound at the same time.(reason i mention this is because, other people on raspbmc forum has reported that if your tv/receiver cannot decode DTS, forcing raspberry pi to cpu decode will cause lag in 1080p) *** also try to change the refresh rate of your video to match your video files framerate, could work. After muddling around with it twice. Since I made the noob mistake of running apt-get update & upgrade manually. Anyhow 2nd time also mess up the first ssh in config... I dled a test file Gangnan style from youtube. 178mb SQL Stream 0 Type:Video Codec:H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) Resolution:1920X1080 Frame rate:23.976023 Decoded format:Planar 4:2:0 YUV Stream1 Type:Audio Codec:MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) Channels:Stereo Sample rate:44100Hz using psftp to put it onto Raspberry pi. My refined raspbmc + transmission installation. Note: I have yet to set up smb or nfs or an external harddrive. Running purely on 32gb SD card. I have a seagate 250gb external slim hdd, which i doubt will work since it draws entirely via usb connection. I set my transmission to 40 peers, download limit of 50-80, up of 5-9, since i using lousy streamyx connection only... I was able to play the 1080p file and sustain 80KB/s download, 8up. I used information from this page and modified a bit to my purpose CODE sudo initctl start xbmc <start xbmc from putty> sudo initctl stop xbmc <stop xbmc from putty> Using Pi user sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop Using the pi user sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json <whitelist-192.168.1., download-\/home\/pi\/downup, password, username-root> <only on NTFS> sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/downup sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/transfer sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/anime sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/movie sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/music sudo chmod g+rw /home/pi/musicv sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/downup sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/transfer sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/anime sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/movie sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/music sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/pi/musicv net.core.rmem_max = 4194304 net.core.wmem_max = 1048576 sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start I created extra folders, but not sure if it could be properly used by transmission. The last install of xbmc that i did with raspbian, the entire 32gb got filled and i end up wiping the whole sd card since, it refused to delete stuff in rubbish can. So it could be a chmod problem. *** the raspbmc - totally got my sony tv remote's cec to work on it. Fast forward works, backwards doesnt. Stop, play, next all works. Yippee free remote! How do you get your Pi to utilize the 32GB? Use Gparted? And what is the idle CPU usage? Mine always 100% even idle. Guess I need to fine tune some setting. And CEC not work with my Panasonic TV.
