I am willing to let go one unit (new with box) at RM150, same price I bought from element14.
PM me if you are interested.
Refer to link:

I'm interested to get one to play around with. Shouldn't you be selling cheaper compare to online new unit?
Btw. Is it safe to get from element14 site? what's the lead time for the delivery if anyone of you buy it before?
Thanks.

as long its in SG, it would be delivered on the next dat itself if no other issues involved.
Ordered huge number of stuffs with them already. (company purpose)

Peripherals, i would not suggest form element14.
Some yeah, depends on your needs.

HDMI- quite cheap - no need for headless. First time set up, YES u need HDMI
Later part can use SSH or vnc- if in case for automation purpose.
Normal media player obviously hdmi is imp.

wireless adapter - get edimax- pretty good. but u need to set up script for autoconnect
(usually it disconnects for no reason) . can be done using crontab

key board mouse depends.

Most important - SD card. get a compatible ones. I did face data corruption issues on sandisk
after 1 month of intense use, intense (write to card almost 3 to 5 times per second)
I noticed SONY card did pretty well.
*
I do have my own HDMI cable and also SANDISK 8GB SDHC..
for power, i can use my S III charger for it, right?
guess I just need to buy the unit without any additional peripheral.. smile.gif

yeah, normal samsung chargers would do.. as long 750mah should b fine

i tried powering up my pi with even 450mah, headless. - no issues
runs fine for almost a week, with constant wireless data transmissions
(but only one usb port would work)

even pc usb port would do, again depends.
i already left pi, now trying up with metro ui for my new radio app after blazing radio.

Good luck ! smile.gif

Thanks bro.. seem like purchasing the device with separate casing is much cheaper..

Hi, shadow111
Please call/contact to element14 today immediately, tell them to waive the RM20 shipping charges,
as you knew that is free shipping ads in their home page, weblink:
http://my.element14.com/jsp/bespoke/bespoke3.jsp?bespokepage=e14/common/promotions/freefreight.jsp&ICID=ap-freefreight-rb
Look at the item #6: "Under "Special Instructions" dropdown, select the option "Other" and type "Free Freight".
Tell them that you forget to put the special code.
Act fast!
Hope I could help you to save some $$ biggrin.gif
This discussed before in this thread, search "RM20 shipping" and you will know.

thanks bro.. seem like i make the silly mistake of ordering it with separate casing and the amount is less than RM150..

Just receive this mail.. how come we cannot purchase online for personal use?
Anyone face the same issue? Any other place to buy? thundermatch charge RM25 for delivery.. rclxub.gif

Thank you for ordering with us.

Please note that due to some licence issue, we are unable to sell the Raspberry PI to customers who purchase it for personal use.

Kindly please log in to the following website to purchase directly from my retailer

http://farnell.com/raspberrypi-consumer/ap...php?region=apac

Do note that we are still able to proceed the 2nd item (2113799). Please let me know if you want us to proceed?

Worse was they was asking for your company name/register number/your occupation/purpose and will you order more in future. D:

I just got mine today from element14.. they rejected my first purchase as I didn't put the company name..
for my 2nd purchase, I just put my company name and everything goes smoothly..

just tested using openelec on my device and connect to my 29" toshiba lcd tv..
problem is, resolution is way out.. anyone know what is the correct resolution to set?

Still figuring out how to use this.. any good OS to use for it?
I prefer to surf net, watch online tv, etc..

Anyone who ordered through element14, did any of the sales representative call you to confirm if this is for personal/business use; like RS?
*
First time I purchase from element14, the company name is needed so I just put my name..
then the purchased got rejected..

2nd time I ordered, I put my company name in the field.. it went thru..

Use the normal smartphone charger which is rated 5V 1A. Depending on model, A uses less power. while B starts from 750mA to 1.5A iinm. Those ipad/galaxy charger are rated 2A though i think it should be able to support.

I'm using my old samsung galaxy 5 charger.. IINS, it's only 0.5A.
Any idea what will happened if we use unsuitable power supply?

so if the power is inadequate, it will only cause Pi to shutdown..
guess I'm ok since I didn't face any shutdown issue so far.. but the interface for the openelec seem like a bit lagging..

the funny thing is.. I use a 8GB sandisk card.. after I format it n install with the openelec, windows will show only 1GB space.. any idea why?

That's because different file system. The one you see in windows is the boot file system which
is in (FAT/FAT32)

The system partition is on default (EXT3/EXT4)... you can view that using a ext file system reader in windows.

ic.. thanks bro..

Can someone explain to me how the two diodes (D1, D2) here protect the circuit?

Also why the 1N4008 since the voltages involved her are so low.
Won't the 1N4001 do as well?
