I've always thought the Pi was a neat thing, and have almost bought one or two a couple of times.
But what would I do with it?
Cheap PC? Have plenty of those.
Router? DD-WRT on supported hardware is a far better solution.
Set top box? Practically every computing device I own, and media component, can stream directly from my media server.
Two DIY projects: controller for an automated home brewery - that would be cool. Gather telemetry from a near-space amateur balloon flight? Cool - but the power budget may not be sufficient.
