Hi folks

So as the new Raspberry Pi 2 is out, and as I believe most of you are getting it, I just wondering what you going to do with your old ones.
I know this is totally off topic, but I'm just curious
This is what I have done with one of my old RPi and now as I waiting for this new which is going to be main XBMC driver, I looking for some ideas what a little project I may start again

Roberts 747 - DIY Raspberry Pi internet radio/streamer

Very cool, when I do get a Pi 2 I will just move the model B to my bedroom.

Once the Pi2 turns up, my old Model B will help develop some form of advertising screen and scoreboard for my local bowls club then eventually a video monitor for my daughter..

I probably going to turn another old radio into streamer as so many people like it and I have a lot of messages from friends and friends of friends if I can make some more for sale
If I find enough spare time why not, I was even thinking to buy few RPi A+ and use that instead, as there is no need for full fat RPi B

I've used mine to be a NAS/Print server using Arch Linux as the base. Works really well and far better than my old Dlink 323 NAS. My Model A is a security camera providing 24/7 footage of all comings and goings in front of my property (Bit pervy I know)

Mine will either go into the kitchen or bedroom for music and video streaming. Maybe even add some sensors to them and add them to the home automation system currently under construction.

@IriDium I like the CCTV idea
do you have this documented anywhere so I can have a look please?

I think a make an ambilight for my TV, so I have to RASP behind my TV :-)
