    I'd use this kit to learn linux, tinker around with the GPIO possibilities and, when I have enough knowledge to know what I'm doing, make a portable Raspberry Pi Linux computer !

    I Would use this in my main tv since my current Media center takes up a lot of space , I used a lot of scrap parts to put this "half a laptop" together

    Ghost TV!

    Last year I created a RPi project that converted random electrical noise to phonemes of the English language (like syllables) using Python, SoX (Swiss Army Knife of Audio), Festival Speech Synthesizer and a shell script to automate bootup and chaining the software. The device, housed in an old police scanner, can be used to vocalize electromagnetic signals for “ghost hunting” in any space, where a spirit from beyond the grave could learn to affect and control these random signals. (Short Video of the device below)


    I would like to use a new RPi to create a Ghost Visualizer, that uses the same process to convert random electromagnetic signals or noise to images, using a derivative of Scott W Harden’s excellent QRSS VD spectrographic visualizer project:

    http://www.swharden.com/blog/qrss_vd/

    The RPi media server could then stream noise derived images to a television, that could also be affected from beyond the grave! → ghost TV!

    I'm have been looking for a alternative to me current media centre - and being the Linux 'geek' that I am, this sounds fantastic.

     

    I currently have my home anti-virus running off a early model PI.

     

    Also my nephew is really interested in learning Linux, so this could be my perfect opportunity to get him started...............
