The thing is Jimmer mate that i've spent a good couple of weeks doing my head in trying to sort out xbmc on my htpc...i eventually got there, thanks to our great friend JHSRennie and others.
i am for the moment just enjoying my setup and although it still has few issues to iron out, i'm extremely happy with it.
Lol! I'm just narked that I missed out after getting up at an ungodly hour. 5.30am! Jesus wept.......
....still I'm pretty stoked for the guys behind the r-pi, these things are gonna sell like hotcakes. Fair play to Eben and the gang, nice to see a British success story for a change

Plus when did VAT go back to 17.5%?!?!
Also. I have one question.
You get one, wire up tv, power and keyboard/mouse etc.
But how do you switch it on!?!?

Well I've placed my order but not 100% convinced I'll get one. Everywhere is telling us there out of stock.

You were right. VAT is still at 20%.
There is no power button. See the FAQ on http://www.raspberrypi.org maybe tomorrow when the site switch back to dynamic page.

Not really. The delivery charge is included in the Farnell price but if you order more than 2 you could knock off a few quids.

I believe the earliest you can get from farnell will be one month later.
Your best bet would be RS when they actually receive the stock.

How more cack-handed could this have been arranged?
They were never available in Spain - just 'expression of interest' form after hours of trying to get past the internal server error messages!
