    I did some more research on the device and it can actually run Quake 3 on reasonable graphics and speed. So I am supper impressed!!! I hope to get my hands on one soon and test it. If it is reliable and stable on the tests I am planning for it I see a real improvement in the mobile device market. Finally a device that we can play with…

      Possible cost of aRaspberry Pi.

      I still don’t have an official price or anything like that but it seems it will be much cheaper than most solutions out there...

        I did send a request to the supplier about the Raspberry and nothing… I understand that most businesses are closed over the long weekend but not even an automated reply. And so it brings all kinds of questions.

        Is the Raspberry actually available?
        Will it even have a guarantee/warranty?

        Sadly we will never know… So much for a good thing…

            Hi Teco
            The Pis are available just a 5-6 week waiting period. They are coming through and we have started selling cases for them.

                    @vieome, the cases are R90 each plus delivery or you can collect.
                    Our website link
                    Payment is credit card or EFT. We use payfast with an option to transfer directly. Or you can come in to the shop and pay cash.
                    Just we do cut to order so we don't have stock of cases just the acrylic.

                        We don't sell the computers just the cases. This was just done as a family member bought a Pi and wanted a case, they looked so nice that we offered it on the website and have sold a few of them.

                              Place a Wanted thread on Carbonite.

                              Saw somebody looking to do a similar thing.

                              My partner bought a Rasberry Pi to play around with. Nifty, if you have a use for it. It's sitting around gathering dust now.
