Project Seeks To Build Inexpensive 9-inch Monitor For Raspberry Pi

angry tapir writes "A Kickstarter project is aiming to bring an inexpensive 9-inch portable monitor to the popular US$25 Raspberry Pi PC, which comes without a keyboard, mouse or monitor. The "HDMIPi" will include an LCD panel that will show images at a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Computers can be hooked up to the monitor via an HDMI controller board that can be wired to the LCD. The display is being made by Raspi.TV and Cyntech."

So you just spent $20 more for a machine inferior in almost every way to the Raspberry Pi. Good call.

No, YOU just knocked down a straw man. You are the one claiming you can only get a 300MHz PII for quite a bit more than a Pi, which is idiotic.

In fact cheap used 2GHz+ P4s are quite plentiful, and have plenty of storage, RAM, fast graphics, etc.

And who the hell doesn't have tons of old SD cards lying around?

See, just like you, I can spout crap and make mine hypothetically FREE, too.
