chose your pick. 

[ELSknutson]

Media PC, Light controller, Android gaming PC

[Keyboy]

Remebmer to follow your own post.

 

You could make a nice fire in the microwave

[TheKDub]

I'd personally use it as a NAS or a small web server.

[PotatOS - Andrew]

Airplay receiver, robot, xbmc tv, etc.

[Dude]

Watercool it and try to get to 3ghz.

the best cool use of a Raspberry Pi is water cooling

completely pointless but cool lol

I have plans to build a solar powered green house made out of recycled house windows and use a pi along with arduinos to regulate temperature, watering, soil quality, etc. Set it all up so it's accessible via a web site so I can access it from any device. It's very ambitious and I don't know that it will ever come to light, but it's something I REALLY want to do.

Throw it in a small aquarium with mineral oil!

[Speedbird]

Media PC, Light controller, Android gaming PC

Dude, it can barely run Minecraft.

if you have a 3d printer get the following items and integrate the raspberry pi as a controller for the 3d printer

 

1. http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Display-AT070TN90-Controller-Raspberry/dp/B00GZCUNQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422614596&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+touch+screen&pebp=1422614617705&peasin=B00GZCUNQ8

 

2. http://www.amazon.com/JBtek%C2%AE-Black-Raspberry-Access-Ports/dp/B00ONOKPHC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422614647&sr=8-3&keywords=raspberry+pi+case&pebp=1422614700463&peasin=B00ONOKPHC

 

attach the case to the under side of the 3d printer and mount the touch display in a clever and convenient place

(you wil also need 3d printer firmware for the pi )

Dude, it can barely run Minecraft.

minecraft is written with java not even some of the recent aa shit is that unoptimized

adroid games are meant to be run by arm chips it shuld work fine

 

you culd use it as a small audio-pc and use it as an alarm clock

It's not the same

There is a cool pi OS called RetroPI that allows you to use your Pi as a retro games emulator. You could create awesome emulation systems in things like Gameboy cases. I was also considering mounting it to a PCIE bracket, making a simple IO backplate and hiding it in my system, or outing it in a 5' 25" inch drive bay.

Yeah, it's cool.

 

Now, picture this: liquid nitrogen cooled raspberry pi overclocking. That's the real coolest use of a Pi.

I would really like to make a game cabinet with these. But like a small one. That would be amazing.

Also been done

[mackncheesiest]

I should have figured it's already been done. People do love liquid nitrogen and overclocking.

funny thing is the board normally doesn't even have a passive heatsink or anything lol

Set up backtrack and have a small screen you can run on it and use it as a portable network testing utility.
