You'll know who you are, what you said, and the lengths you went to to threaten me. I had set out to create a book sized Raspberry Pi computer with 5 port ethernet, injectable wifi, a 12v DC rechargable battery system, multiple USB, and access to the GPIO ports. I had set the price at $400(with hope...

Nick Brian Walters

Amen to the costs involved. With any new tech, first offerings will be expensive until people recoup their RD and prototyping...soon enough prices will drop.

Nick Brian Walters

My Vlog on why I think it's ok to build a full Raspberry Pi computer, sell it, and be paid for assembly time.

(feel free to comment on the video page)

<t>Ebay states : For multi-quantity listings, make sure you have ready access to all the items you're offering. For pre-sale listings, make sure you'll have ready access to all items on the release date. It says "access to all items on the release date" I make it per...

Nick Brian Walters

I have been able to find different vendors for items, and lowered my profit to a point at which I'll make minimum wage for my work.

I still don't get why you have such hate. I just want to be paid for my work.

Nick Brian Walters

<t>MKO : as I've said I'll be doing some modifications to the system, and as stated in the listing some items may be slightly changed….I'm referring to power, and especially USB. I appreciate your input, and I've thought about the keyboard as well, and that isn't set in stone yet, but I'm...

Nick Brian Walters

As a goodwill gesture I've appended the listing. I have now added this at the bottom :

Just to let everyone know I'll be donating 5% of my profits(no I won't tell you what they are) to the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Nick Brian Walters

turnkey is a term that means you don't have to assemble anything yourself. When it arrives you just turn it on(linux skills not included lol).

Nick Brian Walters

<t>I just want to set the record straight. I live in a capitalistic society, and I feel perfectly comfortable taking multiple parts from many vendors, assembling them, and selling for a profit...it's how the world works. I realize everyone here can do it cheaper, and I hope they do. I jus...

Nick Brian Walters

I'm not going to list all the parts and their cost, or where I'm getting them, or approximate what my time is worth for the work....I will summarize them as a general whole and say my costs range over $400.

Nick Brian Walters

<t>Look I have had a couple people message me on ebay and complain. Most have looked up bargain basement parts, left out my shipping costs, as well as not included numerous parts needed to make a system run. Am I profiting. YES. am I making a killing, no. I will be personally assembling, wiring, mod...

I've mentioned this display before here : http://www.raspberrypi.org/for.....ays#p45502

10", battery, USB, HDMI, speakers, lots of ins and outs. 1024x600.

I know I posted my own unboxing of the amazing Raspberry Pi(see the last page of posts), but I had to share this, being the second, and far superior to mine, unboxing :

Nick Brian Walters

This isn't exactly a Vlog or news item, but does cover specifically the manufacturing delays as it's main topic....and I thought it was HILARIOUS! So check it out :

This isn't mine by the way...just sharing.

My Vlog on unboxing, backorders, and manufacturing delays :

Nick Brian Walters

<t>I wasn't sure if I should put this here or not, as it's only semi-related to the Raspberry Pi, but after a few E-mails and messages from people asking me about media center stuff with the Raspi and possibly windows, as well as after seeing some peoples opinions about a possible backlash from peop...

Nick Brian Walters

<t>You're very welcome. I certainly don't require any thanks though, I'm just glad I could do a small part to help ensure something as disgusting as this was stopped. More then anything I thank Raspberry Pi. As a kid I looked up to people like Steve Wozniak, Captain Crunch, or Kevin Mitni...

Nick Brian Walters

<r>I keep track of new vids on youtube, as I like to hear any news or opinions on the Pi, and this one popped up with a link to a site with most of it's content copied from this one, and a paypal button for $35. I think someone should work on getting this down before anyone is duped. the site is <UR...

Nick Brian Walters

<t>I agree that while flash seems to be a sore point for many, that it's important. Almost anyplace where you see that flash could be used, and it can't, you see it as a top request. One example is Firefox on Droid. It has none, and is greatly wanted by everyone, and basically everyone just avoids i...

Nick Brian Walters

<r>Well, I haven't posted in here yet, but I usually wait to intro myself, because to be honest every time I do I tend to go on and on...the last time I did I ended up writing a 3000+ word story about my life and specifically a college experience and posted it elsewhere, because as an intro it was t...

Nick Brian Walters

<t>LOL...I was thinking about looking for, and maybe starting a thread about this. I suspected, as has been said above, that it's just unavoidable because of heavy traffic. I suggest you do like I have been, and copy your post before you hit "post new reply". I've lost, and had to re-write posts a c...

<t>fernando said: I guess I had a similar experience to yours but RPF pulled my rug when they decided to take my main source of information away, which is this forum. The Forums, unfortunately, had to be taken down. They knew that there was going to be an insane amount ...

Nick Brian Walters

<t>I definitely don't think it's a blockbuster solution, and am not even completely happy with it for Cinematography. It does however provide just enough for my needs at a decent price, and to step up to anything better takes $500+(USD) I even stated in the original thread(link in post ab...

Here's my latest Vlog on Black PiDay

Probably my last unless some juicy stuff unfolds

Nick Brian Walters

Here's another Vlog on the Raspberry Pi. Includes updates on ordering, shipping, and other weirdness's as well as general updates, and some info on the hardware. Enjoy :

Probably the last Pi Vlog, unless something else crazy happens
