Raspberry Pi Zero - 4 QUID!!!

They have got the cost down so much they are now giving it away on the cover of a magazine - yep, buy a magazine and get a FREE COMPUTER with it.

Amazing!

(Yes yes, it needs a usb hub, power supply, micro SD card, wifi dongle, micro HDMI adapter etc etc, but still, 4QUID!!!)

Sold out pretty fast! Already have a few Pi's, but not sure what I'd use a Zero for yet.

It's a tiny computer, so you can do what you want with it. Its small form factor means it's ideal for hiding away in small enclosures.

I use mine for various things. One is a webserver, one a NAS (now replaced with a Synology box) and one powering an arcade machine
