Doing serious work like CAD and intense Video editing then the SSD's, ram and processor will pay form themselves many times over in time savings. Somehow I can't justify such a rig for Word, Excel, ACT and Photoshop ! lol
It's an amazing rig that I'm sure must be a joy to operate.
The speakers arrived this morning so my new multimedia centre is complete. Must get the cabling sorted tho'
It's truly amazing. The whole cost of the rig came to around £150; I use the speakers (under £10) when watching stuff on a monitor through a HDMI to DVI-D cable. It drives our 40" plasma TV beautifully through HDMI. You can get a cheap HDMI to VGA converter box for a couple of quid, so I can't think of any good reason for this product to be made available to poorer countries displaying through older monitors. I'm running Linux and XBMC on separate SD cards. Next step will be to get Python installed and learn some new programming.
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!
