Seems that they appeal to the DIY/hobbyst/user prone to recycle unused screens or cheap ones.

There are two main connection options for the RPi display, HDMI (high definition)
nd Composite (low definition).

•  HD TVs and most LCD Monitors can be connected using a full-size 'male' HDMI
cable, and with an inexpensive adaptor if DVI is used. HDMI versions 1.3 and 1.4 are
supported, and a version 1.4 cable is recommended. The RPi outputs audio and video
via HMDI, but does not support HDMI input.

•  Older TVs can be connected using Composite (a yellow-to-yellow cable) or via
SCART (using a Composite to SCART adaptor). PAL and NTSC TVs are supported.
When using composite video, audio is available from a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) socket, and
can be sent to your TV, to headphones, or to an amplifier. To send audio your TV,



Nevertheless the GPU specs are impressive for a small gadget, beyond of anything known just a few years ago.

 HDMI output : wow !  many of my mobile and desktop PCs lack of it !

Guess that mice, keyboard and case will be more expensive than the board itself

For the gigging musician a "LCD screen" is still a factor that can determine the final price.

Let's the thread spinning.

Sadly still there aren't shipping news even for other European countries.

Hi All,

Smart design and $25 (w/o case) can't be seen very often on PCs  

A full featured mainboard with 256MB RAM, CPU  GPU , HDMI, Audio, RCA video USB, LAN,
 

http://www.raspberrypi.org/

The links below are shown up just to express an interest in Raspberry Pi

http://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=raspberrypi&cm_mmc=UK-PPC-0212-_-02_Raspberry_PI-_-Raspberry_PI-_-Raspberry_Pi

or

http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi

The site became static cause of heavy traffic.
 
There is a link above to download:
Linux Debian with LXDE , MIDORI and dev tools.

Question from the air:

Will be 256MB enough to run VB3 there regarding Win emulation on Linux ?

Best,

Rafael
