Just thought that this was interesting.

 

For those who missed it, the Raspberry Pi is a bare board credit card sized linux computer capable of playing 1080p h.264 video that costs £22 /$35. It uses low end ARM chips, a healthy number of ports to connect to monitors/TVs and outdated smartphone parts which all told make it about as powerful as a PC from ten years ago.

 

It was designed as a low cost computer that kids could use to learn programming but because of its tiny size, price and features, it's become highly sought after by hobbyists and sold over 350000 units to date.

 

Personally, I'd love to get my hands on one to try as a media PC for my TV. It also appears to be strong enough to run old games like Quake 3. Shame orders are backlogged well into summer.
