Raspberry PI B+, What should i do?

[Johannes_Lazor]

I bought the Raspberry PI B+ today, It was at "Kjell Och Company", It was only 200 SEK(About 23 USD, I couldnt pass that deal)

Right now im thinking of trying to find:
- A small monitor(10inch or so) that can run of 5 or 12 volts that has a HDMI interface(Or that weird RGB interface)
- A powerbank(So i wont have to DIY a charging circuit) to power it
- A small keyboard with a touchpad(Like 25cm(10inches big)
- A Very small usb wi-fi(It would be a plus with bluetooth too) card.
- A pair of earbuds and mod it to use a set of some speakers instead(If i cant find any better option.
- And of course a micro-SD card, I dont know what size though, I think i will settle at 8/16gb.

and with that build a somewhat small handheld computer just for the fun of it, I havent done much in ubuntu and such.


Or have it as a small server.

That kinda falls into my original idea of a portable computer, I could just boot into the already made NES emulator for example, And it would even be in a portable formfactor which makes it Pretty rad.

Look at the PCB, It says "Raspberry PI Model B+ V1.2", It has the same layout as the 2 but it isnt as beefy.

It only has a single core 700Mhz CPU and 512mb RAM.

Here is where i bought it, And Kjell has Never had any products that are misnamed, It is the goto store if one wants something that normal stores doesnt have.

I use mine to run a 24/7 torrent client. It's a pretty cool use in my opinion, since the community benefits from your seeding and you benefit by having a chance to add a torrent over the internet, through web interface and have everything downloaded over night and while you're in school/work.

You either saw my post 2 weeks ago which was exactly this or you also had the same idea as me, which is it ?

Seems like we both had a awezome idea, I saw Ben Hecks videos on portable consoles(I bet he also had done it with a raspberry pi though) so i thought "Why not a Raspberry PI?"

It happens to everyone, It is a part of being a human.

You could set it up as a plex server or a plex multimedia streaming device.

Turning it into a BitCoin mining rig is always an option? Not really for money, but just a little hobby to get into.

[carguy86]

go to adafruit.com they have all the pi goodies!

Wow that's cheap

If your in to tech and techy stuff do a bitcoin mining rig you won't make any money from it but you could sell it on eBay think jagsrs28 mentioned as a hobby but I'd make it and sell it
