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..

RE: What to do with old RPi
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 ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

RE: What to do with old RPi
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.
