Show Us Your Rig [5]

Hi Linnemeyerhere, or can I call you Linne? Not sure what you're suggesting but I'd love to know. The only real problem with the Pi, apart from its boot time, is getting a decent display under Raspbian on a modern monitor.
Amazes me, I bought a state-of-the art Packard Bell 14 years ago: 700MHz Pentium, 256Mb Ram, 128Mb GPU; this little beauty has that and more!

Amazing it really is. It won't be replacing my i7 anytime soon but it's much lighter and tiny !

Oh gosh, now we have two Alans here.

Mr. Cooper that's a neat Pi setup and I'd like to see what the video looks like.

That's funny, I hadn't noticed. Even spelled properly !

Running XMBC, you'd be amazed. I'll make a short video of the output and post soon.
I'm also told that the Pi can be run as a server, that's whole new territory for me, but it's something to experiment with on these cold London evenings.
Sorry, we're way off-topic regarding W7 here, so maybe I should transfer my posts to General or Chill-Out.

I don't think so Alan, it IS a rig after all.

"It's a rig, Jim, but not as we know it". *lol*
