RE: Warning about cheap leads
I did a little test today, to see what amperage the RPi needs.

Below are my results. What you should gain with this, is the importance of a good power supply - 1 amp at least and a powered hub, especially if you have more than a coupe of USB devices.

The devices were attached and the system rebooted. The devices are cumulative.

At rest (Red light on) = 0.11ma

Figures in ma.
Devices attached -> Peak amperage -> At rest amperage

Nothing - 410 - 330
Wireless KB - 430 - 350
Ethernet - 510 - 450
Hub no power - 620 - 540
Hub powered - 510 - 460
Wifi – no hub - 600 - 510
Wifi – hub no power - 760 - 650
Wifi – hub powered - 510 - 460
USB speakers no power - 750 - 650
UBS speakers powered - 520 - 460
Pwd HDD no power hub - 520 - 460
Flash drive unpowered hub - 890 - 810
