It's finally arrived - the Rasperry Pi 3 is here and it's looking like it'd be a pretty good buy! :D

Not exactly I have some Raspberry Pi 2s crunching, ~800 credits a day although project choice is limited.

I've got Linux on mine, still a bit of choice but not as much as normal PCs with Windows.

All combined though, they use less than a lightbulbs worth of electricity :)

I've not had time to do much with them yet, I'll try Windows though.

Hi all,

Did anyone notice that, yesterday, WD have launched a 314Gb HDD for the Pi and it'll sell for $31.42....

Someone in WDs Marketing Dept should be given 3.14 slaps on the back methinks ;)
