  Not quite as good as 19% off.

  Is anything actually cheap though? Apart from some super-specialized components (that can't be found on ebay), can't really find any bargains. Am I not looking hard enough?

    shrugs. it is what it is. Buy 3 RPI2 and cases, get free next day delivery (based on my experience) and split em with your pals and keep the giftcard? But everyone needs two raspberry pis… hell, maybe 3, one for each tv and another to run a vpn torrent usenet mysql (for centralised kodi library)… Although I must admit, after my hdd mysterious died doing the latter, I got a Gigabyte Brix instead.

      what do you use the pi for when attached to your TV. My PC is already connected, and I already have a recorder, is there any special purpose?

        i run kodi (formerly known as xbmc). KODI is available for pc if you wanna try it out. it is THE premiere media centre platform imho. And if you have a tv with CEC you can control it with your tv's remote control (only on rpi though. The main benefit of rpi though is that "runs off a oily rag", $10 a year power, 24/7. If you have a usb tv card it can recxord tv also (though i've not tried that out). Can't recommend it really as a nas though, the 100Mbit ethernet bottle neck was infuriating. plays stuff fine (though never got full bluray stream going )…

        @jonathonsunshine: Thanks, but I guess i have the old-school tech mindest of "more capability at any cost". Don't understand why the masses pay money to downgrade performance to "save money" on power. If it can't even run Bluray yet, simple 10+ year old tech, it's got no business in my living room. I would only buy this if it could make my PC piss. I suspect that won't be the case even in 10 more revisions.
