I paid for my Raspberry Pi via credit card to Element 14 on June 13: NZ$55.50
I received the card on Friday 20th July 2012
Today I went to Jaycar electronics and bought:
16GB uSD Card. $30
SD to uSD adaptor. $5
USB - AC adaptor. $19
USB (A) to micro USB cable (2 metres) $11
I already have:
Ethernet cable
HDMI cable
3.5mm to 2xRCA cable
So for a total cost of $120.50, I am up and running.
I can put the uSD card into my mobile phone and connect that to my computer to write to it.
So I downloaded and installed raspbmc OS to uSD card.
Then connected it all up to the TV and stereo and router in the lounge.
It booted up and connected to the internet and installed the OS and then rebooted into raspbmc, sweet as!
Now I just need to add some video to the SD card and try running that.
Also need to sort out how to access a hard drive full of media etc.
Also need to get a web browser functional on it.
