[ILUG] Raspberry Pi

[ollie]

Thanks Michael,

Mostly im worried that the raspberry Pi/ Cotton Stick candy wont be as 
responsive as a faster pc.

If anyone else has recommendations for a media center pc or even better 
experiences to share i'll be happy to hear.

Mostly I want to avoid spending too much money :)

My old laptop (DELL Vostro 1500) has a (for the time) powerfull NVIDIA 
gaming graphics card. However it still has trouble with full HD content, 
so im wary about buying some old pc and using that.
