Thread: Credit card size Linux PC with 1080p and HDMI for £16 - WTF!!! These can't be true!!!

For those who have an intrest in computing etc. and have not come across the Raspberry Pi project I urge you to check it out(raspberrypi.org). They have developed a Linux based PC the size of a credit card with full HD capabilities. It has a 700MHz ARM11 CPU and runs off a standard SD card. For full specs check it out. What really grabbed my attention though was how cheap the product is going to cost. There is going to be 2 models initially, the higher spec costing only £22. The reason for the cheap cost and tiny size is because the project is intended to bring programming to children around the world who would normally miss out on the chance to learn due to hardware costs. It truely is an impressive bit of kit and for a really good cause.

Recently I've been playing around with Arduino micro-controllers and stuff and stuff like that and after discovering this it got me thinking of the possible implications in console modding. Its small size and high specs surely have several possible uses and as a noob to all things technical I'd love to hear any suggestions console or not.
