Dear Raspberry PI Customer,

We are delighted to say stock has been allocated to your order but unfortunately when we processed your credit card transaction your card had expired.
phoned them with my new card details, and my order status is currently "processing"

*excited*

HAHA, me too! just about to phone them up.

Aye - I'll wait out the "early adopter tax" on the cases myself. Currently using a carved-out Graze box punnet :lol:

My case is going to be a repurposed PSOne. Bought it for a Tenner, but pretty much just for the joypads that came with it. It works, but wtf are you supposed to do with a PSOne?
I made a deviantart page.

I got a notice that there were things waiting for me at the post office (blown off my door and onto my lawn :roll: - good thing one of my kids saw it). I excitedly went down to get the things I had ordered from DealXtreme and found out that they had split the order. Screen protectors and a screwdriver?!? :evil:

Also, I want a Raspberry Pi. :)

Be interesting to see how you get on with this and hooking it up to the Atrix Lapdock. Hopefully my Pi will turn up in the next few weeks and I am having similar plans....

Just a quick note the connection on the Atrix dock is a Micro HDMI type not a Mini.... Hopefully you ordered a Micro adapter!

the lapdock never turned up :(

all i got was the slip case i ordered with the lapdock. according to emails it was out of stock, but ive been charged the full amount, and the order is still showing as "goods allocated"

theyd better not cancel the order on me, theres no reason i want a 7 quid slipcase for it if ive got no actual lapdock ffs!
