Nice build. I'm doing almost the same thing with a "D2 Plug" from Globalscale and an old Visio LCD TV.

I'd love to use a cheaper Pi but so far I've only been able to get my hands on one so I don't want to permanently tie it up putting stuff on a TV screen.

Its a little disheartening that all these months later, the most impressive part of most Pi projects is still sourcing the damn thing in the first place.

Farnell can now ship them pretty much anywhere with a couple of weeks lead time, which isn't great but is at least an improvement on a couple of months ago.

Strange, where are you located? I've bought the RPi on amazon.com before, pretty fast shipping. When in doubt, search on amazon. It's $60 on amazon prime which includes shipping. It's about $15 more than the usual places, but with the assurance that you'll get it in 2 days.

I got mine from Element 14 / Newark in 3 days over a weekend (they tied Amazon Prime for the SDHC card it's running on). So things are getting better in the US for RPi availability.

Yes, I was pretty lucky to pick it up the next day!
