Anyone have a lead to purchase an R-Pi?
#1
Other than eBay (and paying twice the price) does anyone know of anywhere to buy a R-Pi? The two main ones (and most others I've found) are perpetually out of stock so just curious.

Thanks.

I've just recived mine from RS, and they sent an E-mail saying they have plenty of stock now. I also noticed that Maplins are starting to take orders, but don't know what the lead time is, I'm still struggling to get mine to work with XBMC.

When I go to the RS site it redirects me to Allied Electronics since I'm in the US. Their site says it is back ordered and will take multiple months to ship. hmm.
I'll check Maplins if I can find it.

Sorry, Maplins is a UK outlet, I don't know if there is an equivalent over there, at the moment only RS and Farnell are supplying them over here, I had to wait five months.

if you want to pay for one at retail then I don't know of any currently in stock. I grabbed one from amazon for 59.99 (model B) though last Wednesday and when I last checked again (last night) there were still some in stock from the seller. Definitely much more than the retail price but if it's a must that you have one now and you feel that's a bearable price, it's an option (i just checked and they said there's 6 left in stock).

I ordered one from MCM last week, site said the ETA was next month. It arrived yesterday and was the new 512MB model. Big Grin Of course your mileage may vary...

I ordered one from MCM and from Allied and figured I'd see which shipped first and cancel the other. Assuming they notify me when it ships so I know to cancel the other one...
