OK so I was thinking about how I could use a raspberry pi to build something for the 'non-tech' public so I could sell and make a profit.
At first I was thinking of a duplicator as these were on sale for several hundred and it wouldn't be too difficult. Then I thought of a media centre so I done some research.
for 3.99 on ebay I could get an internal laptop DVD drive. A HDMI cable, WIFI adapter, 4GB SD card, Powered USB hub, An internal 2.5" (512GB/320GB) cheap SATA HDD with some SATA to USB adapters and bits & bobs for just a few quid each. The Pi and Hard Drive would be the profit killer.
All this placed neatly inside a £10 potting box would make a tidy XBMC/Kodi centre. About an inch in height, The width would be just slightly wider than the internal DVD drive and the length would be about 150mm.
Now if the Hard drive came fully pre-loaded with, shall we say linux distributions, This would get some sales. Along with 'brand new & custom built' thrown in there.
