Well, I have the cluttered desk, I guess that's a start!

Hahahaha Bloody hell, look at all those circuits, boards and wiring..
 That little Pi sucker sounds pretty cool, im gonna look at one in more detail.

They run on 5v. (low power bill  )The B model (latest) is 700mhz cpu and 512 ram with HDMI, 2 usb, lan, etc. I'm gonna mount a fold out 12v screen in the ute and get a pi for the car. http://www.buyraspberrypi.com.au/  
Yeah i know, i was just emphasizing how complex an old arcade machine inner workings look. lol
But yeah, damn! I didn't know its just a board, i thought the Pi was actually a complete mini pc unit itself with casing and screen and peripherals etc..  I guess for that price your not gonna get much really. lol

Yeah that demo has lots of wires and crap, but using a modern recycled LCD panel clears up a lot of that wiring, and he's using an arcade breakout board there as well, not really necessary, just makes it easier to get it going.
I notice he has an arcade style PSU in there as well, again not really necessary but I guess like the old CRT monitor it was still from the original arcade machines guts. Im going to get me a raspberry Pi and MAME it soon me thinks...

Well, I have the cluttered desk, I guess that's a start!  recently left a 32cm monitor / TV here.What ta do with it?

Beautiful, and brown chicken approved as well.
Ive been slack, my Pi is sitting here staring at me. Although I did find a 12 volt powered 14 inch Conia TV in the shed to use with it, fixed her up and now just have to create a masterpiece. Mmm Pi.

Yes having a
 around to supervise is crucial on such projects.The Pi runs OK with the mouse and keyboard using the TV's USB port, but anything else and I have to power the hub separately. Screen has HDMI, but those leads are rather thick and hard to bend so I went with the s-video option. This screen is 12v as well, which reminds me. I need to make a 12v cig socket lead for it later when I roll outer bed.

I saw cheap 90 degree HDMI doodads in Target or K-Mart, cant remember which one sorry.
Might see if I can pick up a couple today. Ill have to wait until our visiting white and brown chickens arrive to hook up my Pi though, unless supervising budgies are ok.
