So I just ordered one of these today to mess around with..
 
Any one have any cool things to do with them (other than emulators for NES and such)?
 
Looking for interesting things to do..since I can't readily afford a new PC at the moment.

    Money is very tight for many people. In such a case a laptop or a Chromebook (especially refurbished) might work out. Newegg has some refurbished Chromebooks for as low as 129 dollars.

    I'm using an old laptop to surf the web, saving for a PC since I got a new job...the Raspberry Pi is just something to alleviate boredom...it was cheap ...Just looking for interesting things to do with it.

    I put Kodi on my Pi2, put a heatsink on the CPU, overclocked it, made a PCB with LCD display and fan, wrote and compiled a C program to control the fan speed based on CPU temperature, and made that C program run at startup and display CPU and GPU temperature on the LCD display as well as display core frequency and memory usage.
    There's some ideas. It's definitely a fun little toy with near endless possibilities. Just play with it and test what its pins can do.
