When did you order it?

Mine was May 30th.

Steve916 · 12th July 2012, 20:06

I think I ordered it around the end of march, then got an email 6 weeks ago to make payment, then it arrived today

When I said mine was May 30th, that's when I paid so hopefully not much longer to wait.

Just checked back through my emails and I actually paid on 30th May too, so you should get it within the next few days

Have you got yourself a case sorted out?

No, not yet. I have got linux on another machine at the moment as I am no expert with it. I think XBMC will come in handy also. Have you any thoughts on how you would incorporate it into the car. I have highline fitted so I may just hook it into the av on the video module for a start. (mono only)

Did you order with RS or Farnell (spl)
