Where are you guys getting your Pi from? Even the places that people recommend are sold out, say "might ship in 6 months" or have a super inflated price.

I've got one of the new ones with the additional memory.  I might be willing to part with it for a premium.

I bought from this guy, and had it within 3 days.

Here is the website that has it,
and lots of accessories for it.

My friend bought the 256mb version when it came out and got it within around 2 weeks from element14.

I ordered from rs-online - and have been waiting over a month.
A friend ordered from element 14, a few weeks after me - got his within 5 days.

Seems to me rs-online are taking money and waiting til they get enough to order in bulk.   
Annoyed.

I got one from amazon...

I would WAIT, until you see the state on the USB fix.
If they cannot fix it ,then without a hardware fix a PI is going to be useless as a reliable  mining controller

Actually, I want more than one, and some for non-bitcoin things, so I might as well get one now and get familiar.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone.

I bought one from RSComponents in June and it just shipped last week, still hasn't arrived. They are very hard to come by. You'll just have to wait it out.

Got my two (diffrent orders, months apart) from element14 within 2 weeks after I put my order.

depends where you are in the world but

is probably the best bet

I signed up to be contacted when it was my turn to order. Took about a week for that to happen then I got an mail from element 14 with a 1-800 number. I ordered on Oct 28th and the expected delivery time is Dec 15.
FYI.
I bought a few extra units so I can contribute to the BTC economy by puting them up for sale.
I got the latest 512mb versions. Fingers crossed it runs ASICs reliably.

element14 are nice and fast from my experience atleast

you can have mine for 3.50 + shipping
256 mb ram
sold

Yay my Rpis got shipped! Soon soon! It's a race with my ASICs!

I know ppl in europe who bougt ones through Farnell

wich is element14 :)

I will sell mine for retail price :)

I used it once for about 20 minutes and got bored with it..  was going to use it for amedia player but ended up using an atom computer so  i could run mythtv

I was screwed by RS. Paid for 2, received 1 after 3 months. We exchanged a few emails weak ago, but I still don't have an explanation from them.

mine is up for grabs aswell, since ive gotten several old pentium machines to run my asics.
comes with sd card / bables etc but not a cover :)
