I paid 125 + 20 for shipping.(which in my opinion should have been 6 bucks)

u should buy something like "cable" or what to make ur purchase to RM150, than u will have free postage.

Element14 purchase up to RM150 get free postage, at least u get somethings rather than just buta buta pay postage

You mean purchase above RM150 get free shipping?
*
yes purchase at Element14 below RM150 will need to pay RM20 shipping fee. Above RM150 is free shipping.
So i suggest to get else things that value around RM25 and above to add on, mean we only top up another RM5 to RM10, u can get another item (add on selection is up to idividual).

for me i choose item below to buy,

http://my.element14.com/jsp/search/product...=ap-1367044-bf3

or anythings in amount of RM25 that u can achive RM150 point for free postage...........haha......

but if the cable cost 25 bucks...
anyway, i guess the idea is to buy worthy stuff to fill up the 25bucks. You must recommend since you "buta buta" me.

haha.............i recommand this to purchase...........or anythithings that u think is worth.

Good News for those who those wanna order Raspberry Pi, Element14 price for Raspberry Pi is lower down from RM125 to RM111 now............
To enjoy free postage u need to order RM150 or above (below RM150 order will be charge RM20 shipping).

Purchase suggestion to achieve RM150.

1. Raspberry Pi, PCB Model B RM111

2. MULTICOMP - MC-RP001-CLR - ENCLOSURE, RASPBERRY PI RM31.93

3. Pro Signal 2 meter HDMI cable RM9.92

Total will be RM152.85

This is the suggestion i feel very good, hope this will help for those who wanna order from element14

So I already have one rasp pi. Thinking about getting another to tinker with for programming, robotics, electronic fun.

Previously, I just went to local cell phone shop to buy a cell phone charger, htc one. Cost me like 60bucks, I know I got the "ripoff" price, and the sd card also very expensive.

Now, since getting my second one, I heard from forumer previously can just get usb hub to power it. So search in Garage sales for ngbh user and went into his usb hub thread, got sell one 7port usb2.0 hub with adapter. less then 40 shipped, i also want to buy micro usb cable from him since I dont have spare, I wonder how much and if he have it.
*
For the micro USB to USB cable u can get at element14:

1. 1 meter long RM6.46
2. 1.8 meter long RM13.04

For the USB charger element14 also have 3 pin plug and 2 pin plug for selection:

1. 3 pin plug USB charger RM27.34

2. 2 pin plug USB charger RM27.34

Thanks so much for bringing in the good news!!!!

I am going to get a 2nd one very soon!!! Anyhow, the usb hub from ngbh seems to be out of stock... anyone else know of reliable garage sales seller with ideal 1-2amp powered usb hub?
I manage to get xbmc to work and it played Hunter X hunter 720p mkv file without any problem, unlike a certain netbook from acer aod270. so damn jerky and get bluescreen so often!!

Opensource and Linux FOREVER!
*
for USB hub for using with ur Pi, is highly suggest using self Powered type and not draw power from the Pi USB.

I found this on Element14 page, dunno this is suitable for u or not, it come with a 3 pin power plug:

DYNAMODE - USB-H70-1A2.0 - HUB, USB 2.0, 7 PORT,WITH UK AC ADAPTOR price at RM41.36

maybe the price is a bit high for a USB hub.............

suddently i found that i become element 14 salesman now...........pening
