I'm shoving this inside one of these i have laying around:

...coiling the USB wire to the motherboard, and building an internal battery pack (plenty of room in there), so the only wire coming out of it will be the HDMI running to the TV.



You should put MAME on the RasPi and have yourself a super-simple arcade cabinet setup along with your media centre!

drat it! The limited-run highly anticipated cheap gadget for nerds sold out quickly! Who would have guessed?


I don't think the confusion is over the fact that it sold out fast, but that the site was completely inaccessible - so how did it get sold?

I dunno why the RasPi guys wouldn't choose Amazon to do this - they have distribution worldwide, very affordable shipping, and extremely large server farms to handle very large amounts of traffic.
