woot, I just bought a B+. I'll have to check that out. Raspbian Wheezy is what I'm currently running too.

New versions of NOOBS and RASPBIAN are up for download here, Downloads | Raspberry Pi. The Blog post indicated the new versions would have the new browser by default. I haven't confermed that yet, I'm still downloading the new version of RASPBIAN. Web browser released! | Raspberry Pi

I want a Pie

You can pick them up for £25 - £30 can't you, get one and have a play

Few mates at work have them as a media centre, they say it works very well (an theirs aren't the latest model)

I haven't given it a go yet though, don't know what i would do with it, don't really have a use for one but will keep it in mind if something does pop up.

Could i run a home server off it? do they have sata connectors?

I think im begin ambitious

No, no SATA connectors. The OS runs from an SC card. The B+ that I have has a Micro SD card slot, 4 USB 2 ports, and HDMI out. Model B+ | Raspberry Pi
At some point I am going to have a go at setting mine up as a Media Center. Right now I'm just playing with it and feeling it out. You can't run Windows on it.

Its sorta like a chromecast but better. You can do a lot more but its ideal for a little home media center.

I bought the ribbon cable and break out board so I can play with the GPIO pins. I'm an electronic technician so that type of stuff interests me. I bought the camera module and a WIFI dongle and a case for it too.
