The targeted customer base is definately students and low income families, but there are definately a lot more use cases than that. I would like one that I can stick in a box with a solar charger, running a linux distro with a wifi card in AP mode, serving up a wikipedia mirror during daylight hours. Why? Why not, it's $45 to provide something neat that will potentially be useful after the zombie apocalypse.

There seems to be a lot in the way of small pc's, but they still tend to be pc's, set up for a real hard drive, external ram, etc. Definitely not something you'd 'embed.' http://www.amazon.com/ECS-Elitegroup-C-60-Motherboard-HDC-I2/dp/B009LHWD6W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371441907&sr=8-3&keywords=amd+c60

I'm a normal IT guy with zero electronics experience but a few raspberry pi powered projects in mind. I have my first pi, and have created a very basic proof of concept for my first project. It's very basic though, and I need to do some more experimentation. I know that at this point I really want a cheap rear end variety pack of resistors, relays, and leds for testing. Unfortunately, googling that phrase wasn't necessarily helpful and I don't want to order a bunch of individual parts when I know someone else probably sells a starter kit that is exactly what I am looking for. Can someone point to such a starter kit? I want to make sure I am clear, I don't need a Pi or Arduino, I don't think I want a breadboard at this point, and I don't need all kinds of weird poo poo, just the basics. I have a soldering iron, plenty of wire, and general knowledge of what I need to do to accomplish my EXTREMELY basic projects. I just don't have all the components and don't want to try to piece everything together myself at this point, because I know I'll buy what I think I need then discover I needed a different resistor or something. edit: bonus points if it has two magnet switches in the kit

To be honest, you are going to pay as much to make the Pi work with plex as you would if you bought a firetv stick and the plex app.
