Thanks for the link. Will give it a try tomorrow itself.
Yep! RS Components ship it from UK to India. Don't know about the present stock status. But you can find it on ebay.in all the time with a little higher cost.
What do you use your Raspberry Pi for?

When I bought my new desk I made some modifications to it for cable management. I'm in love.
So far just been using it to get frustrated at network bridging attempts. I've got both machines capable of pinging back and forth, can SSH back and forth locally, but trying to get the Pi to connect to the internet by sharing the WiFi connection of the PC it's wired to and all hell breaks loose.
Though while typing this I just thought of an idea that may just work...

Sorry to bump an old(ish) thread, but I want this case!

Classy, I know.
I can't afford an office like this:
But that Raspberry Pi case would ad a bit of class to my otherwise un-classy desk, haha.
I've setup a Windows 7 KVM on our new KVM node in Denver and the RPi with rdesktop is amazingly smooth. I'm running PiBang right now because I was doing some actual work but I'm going to switch over to RPITC to see how it runs without any extras in the background.

Very nice setup, Kujoe! Glad to see you here at VPSBoard also, I was wondering why you left LET.
Got motivated earlier, re-flashed my SD card and installed a local webserver. Looking for a pre-configured solution so I didn't have to strip down the stock Raspian install, I found this: http://coburndomain.net/forums/topic/249-raspberry-server-20/ Basically a minimal Debian distro with Nginx, php5-fpm and MySQL.
Since it's documented pretty poorly, I'll just list some basics below:
Download and extract the .img file: https://mega.co.nz/#!gU5W2S4D!FbwYuUTf_zJxrW-gFDTbMzaDY9Y4vWYIayymyneKfrg
and flash your SD card:
dd bs=4M if=~/RaspberryServer2_Foundation_21062013.img of=/dev/sdc
(Thats assuming your SDCard is /dev/sdc and that you're using the same build I am.
After that, setup was a breeze. Slide that SD card into your Raspberry Pi, wire your Raspberry Pi to your router and plug it in. After that all you have to do is figure out what IP your Raspberry Pi has locally, so run:
nmap -p22 -sV --open 192.168.1.0/24
Which resulted in (for me, may be different for you):
Starting Nmap 6.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-08-06 04:17 EDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.108
Host is up (0.00085s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 6.0p1 Debian 4 (protocol 2.0)
Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:kernel
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 4.57 seconds
So now I could SSH into my Raspberry Pi with using 'root' and the default password of 'raspberry'.
I was able to confirm it was working by going to: 192.168.1.108 in my browser on my desktop PC and getting the default webserver page.
Stock install takes up about 50MB of RAM, so it's already pre-configured/tuned for the most part.
Anyhow, I messed around for a bit, set things up as I normally would for a LEMP stack. Running a ServerBear benchmark on it right now, haha. I'll post those results when they become available.

It's been 2 days, is it still running?
Woops! Forgot to post it! http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/08/06/EBxm4F8KJoDedq0iIt's been 2 days, is it still running?
I've got a class 10 SD card in it too, IO is horrible. May need to 'offload' MySQL to my desktop and use the Pi for Nginx and PHP. We'll see, haha.
Just came across this: http://rastrack.co.uk/index.php
Looks like a cool project.
I have added my Pi there. What about you?

I used mine as my primary desktop while I waited for my new laptop (about 3 weeks due to a delay). I was very impressed with how well it ran when RDPing to Windows servers that were less than 50ms away. No loss in productivity.

Haven't got one yet but I have a few ideas brewing:
-zombie backup machine using Bittorrent sync. I'm finished with the cloud.
-make a solar-powered music server with battery back-up.
-see if I can make a basic music synthesizer/MIDI sequencer.
-with camera as a timelapse creator.
