* The clear case Drew showed was the Pi Box by Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/products/859 Their open source design is on Thingiverse so it may be possible to make one on our laser cutter.

* If you have just gotten a Pi, then I recommend visiting the Raspberry Pi Foundation downloads page for instructions on flashing the SD card: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads I recommend using Raspbian "Wheezy" for general purpose and Raspbmc (http://www.raspbmc.com/) for media center. If you run into issues, then the RaspberryPi.org Forum is a good resource: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/ If you can't get past a problem, then I'd be happy to help at next NERP meeting (like after the presentations).

=== Applications ===
* Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino". For doing electronics directly on the Pi, WiringPi is a Python library which aims to make it as high-level as Arduino: https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/ If Python isn't appealing, then this eLinux article gives GPIO examples in many languages: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals
* Quake for the current Raspbian "Wheezy" image can be downloaded here: http://www.memetic.org/quake-3-with-sound-for-the-raspberry-pi/
* "hello world" programs in /opt/vc/src especially the 1080p HD playback demo: /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/

* The Raspberry Pi group on element14 Community is quite active too and another place to ask questions: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi I am a developer on this site and also haven written Pi tutorials which can be found under my profile (http://www.element14.com/community/people/fustini) and our Pi blog (http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=blog).

* The eLinux wiki has a great troubleshooting guide: http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting Check out the listing of equipment verified to work (and add your own once tested): http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals
