Just wondering if anyone has a Raspberry Pi they aren't wanting anymore?

I have two running OSMC, but my 6 year old has his heart set on getting a computer of his own, so I've decided to set up a monitor, keyboard and mouse with a Pi running Raspbian. I was going to give him an old laptop, but I don't trust him enough not to mess it up - I thought with a Pi the worst case scenario would be that I reimage and start again. But now I realise I'll have to give up one of mine for the project, so need a replacement!

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you. Also note if you are selling something we ask you to offer to other members first. Links to private sales (including Trade Me posts) aren't accepted anymore and will be removed.

I have a Pi but I'm using it currently, but deffo a good idea for a first PC. 

I have a 15 or 17" LCD monitor collecting dust you could have for nothing if needed (It takes VGA and DVI but no HDMI, so adaptor probably needed for a few $)? I think I've probably got a USB keyboard lying around somewhere too that doesn't get used.

Thanks - I've dug around the garage and found a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I've ordered an hdmi-dvi adaptor and another sd card, so I have (or will soon have) all the bits for the project itself. I'm just leaving myself short a Pi (which just means I'll have to unplug things and swap them over from time to time (which as we all know is an unbearable burden!)

Off topic a fraction but this might be worth a look: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pi-topceed-the-first-99-raspberry-pi-desktop#/

If you can I'd recommend getting the Raspberry Pi 2 since it is quite a bit faster.

I did have quite a few first generation Pi's hanging around but seems I have given them all away, the Pi 1 is showing its age in the processor department now.

I was just about to say, the R.Pi2 is much much faster, plausible to use as a desktop. v1, not so much. Big difference for Kodi UI responsiveness too.

I have one I'm not using.. Original B, 8gb SD card, and clear case.

I have a few of the original B's - you are welcome to one (or many) for $15 each? They all have cases.
