about 2 weeks with Korea Post.

I have ordered cubietruck, bananapi before this. Usually with package value <RM500, should not have issue with customs, furthermore Hardkernel declare it as "evaluation board", lagi no problem. Anyway, after 1 April with GST, situation may change.

BTW, Odroid C1 idling temperature can easily reach up to 60 C degree.

Bananapi is about 35C. Cubietruck is 50C. Although both are using Allwinner A20 CPU, but bananapi cpu is mounted at the bottom of the board. Maybe this is the advantage. By touching on the plastic casing, bananapi is about the same as raspberrypi. Odroid is way too hot.

Other than raspberrypi, we have now bananapi, orangepi,

If you want to build a headless server with bananapi, I'd like to recommend you the debian image from here:
http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/09/07/ban...ebian-sd-image/

Handphone charger is the best, as well as reliable.

You can build a webserver, mail server, torrent server, download / ftp server, samba file server ...etc. Many users will be able to guide, if you can specify your interest.

If you search on raspberrypi.org, there are quite a few of step by steps setup guide on dlna server setup.
To access remote movie file, setup a samba file server should be good enough. Being said so, I don't use dlna to stream movie. Maybe you can share your experience after testing.
Anyway, raspberrypi lan port speed is only 100 Mbits, maybe an issue to full HD movie.

The fan draws at least 0.2-0.3A. Best get a 5V2A power supply.

I think Maxis assigned private ip and not public ip.

Only thru USB 2.0 port, if your "HD" refer to hard disk.

RPi is arm chipset, not intel x86 cpu. You can't run a windows as with pc desktop / notebook.

Raspberry Pi 3 at Lazada http://www.lazada.com.my/raspberry-pi-3-mo...y-10105602.html
Selling at RM175 (incl. GST). Applying with discount code, should be the cheapest around town currently.

For RPi, all OS has to boot from u/SD card. Usually game is installed to the u/SD card.

Check out here
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

OS usually linux based.
Note : "windows 10 Iot core" also available but this is not the same as windows desktop.

Official price for pi zero suppose to be USD5.
Now selling at RM79 !!!! Wow !!!

No, this is not a x86 machine that you can install windows 10 os. But you can install linux os like raspbian and turn it to a torrent dowload box.

Should be quite straightforward. Good thing for raspberrypi, you can easily find installation / setup guide online.

Check these free materials from raspberrypi.org, a good reference to start with.

RPi most likely recognized this usb device as usb-storage instead of uas (USB Attached SCSI), due to lack of driver support as RPi only has usb 2.0. You can test out the same condition by connecting to windows 8/10 to see any different.

Just use your handphone charger (at least 5v1A) will be good enough. Nowadays, 5v2A adapter for handphone also very common.
