Why is this Rasp Pi so much more expensive then retail? I assume the majority of the inflated cost is for the pre-installed SD card software?
You should be able to find a Pi that's a good 50% cheaper then that. I am not sure what the software entails, (other members more experienced can hopefully back this up) but it should be easy as pie *zing!* to pre-load the software on a blank SD card personally, no?
EDIT: A fellow east coaster I see! I see you are a trusted member, so If you are still in need you should check out amazon.com. I can use my Prime account to get one to your door in 2 days, to which you can reimburse me in the means easiest for you (BTC, Paypal, whichever).

was looking for an easy poof solution. all offers are too costly going to just sell the gridseeds down to 10 my pc runs 10 very well . boliu 's setup looked really nice just don't think it is worth what he asked.
