Raspberry Pi Update / XBMC Media Server

After my post on Monday night regarding my Raspberry Pi, I decided to order some of the missing parts that I feel I needed.  This includes a wireless network adapter, a HDMI to DVI cable, and a powered USB hub. I ordered all of this through Newegg and the total was $37.  However to keep this as cheap as possible I used their free shipping option which is 4-7 days so now I am waiting for those.

In the mean time, I have also built an OpenElec / XBMC box that is hookup up to my TV in the office.  http://openelec.tv/  Now I have two Linux boxes, two Macs, and only one Windows computer in the house. I really was a little nervous about installing OpenElec and I at one time though I had bricked my device but there are so many documentation and forums on OpenElec that I got through it.

I'll put some pictures up later today.
