Are there any of you Pi fans left?

I have finally done something with mine and made an Internet radio that plays through the HiFi. I had to get a PiFace Control and Display unit which is really good for providing physical interaction with the Pi, I also got a case to make it look pretty sharpe.

The core of the code is just MPD and MPC which is freely available and a simple python script I wrote as the overall controller.

Anyone else done anything interesting with there's?

I turned mine into a Kodi box. Navigating the menus works off the TV remote.

Using the old mk1 with a single core CPU is bit slow but it's reliable and siuts us fine.

Maybe mine is the MKII with the larger memory. Anyway it works fine as it is with no buffering etc, but I know the dual core would be faster.
