ordered yesterday morning with some toolkit set to get the free delivery. this morning the gdex came passed me a box, all excited opened it to find only the stupid toolkit set and will dispached the item when available and printed lead time July or later... darn it!!!!

just only saw this thread after they posted me an email about ordering it, already registered interest from day 1 with both sites for sale. yesterday only get email so no think just order. in fact forgot all about this happening gadget. hehe...

anyone got it to run xbmc smoothly for 1080p content over SMB? 720p files are fine.

Using raspbmc and loving it, anyone can recommend a good remote control for it, my old Pinnacle Windows Media remote does not work so well coz the OK key does not select. What a bummer. Please don't ask me to get the small keyboard remote as I am using it now, painful to use when using it as a media center device.

Ordered for Element 14 & RS Components.

World of difference in terms of packaging

bought from both the distributors, around the same price give or take RM 10-15 difference only. My other Pi is sitting in the box, waiting anxiously for my cases to come - https://www.modmypi.com/shop/raspberry-pi-c...y-pi-case-black

no case a bit worried about static.

Tried both openelec and the latest raspbmc and failed playback on 1080p DTS being pulled from my Synology box. Unless you output your DTS audio thru an amp, doubt the pi can cope. Non DTS works perfectly.
