Just got my order confirmation today and UPS shipping says it will be here on Thursday. Leaves me only two days to get everything I need so I'm looking to buy everything as soon as possible. However Im concerned about the power these things can handle and what kind of power supply to use. I read something about 700 mA but I'm not as tech savvy in electronics as some people. I have extra micro USB chargers for my Droid 2 phone as well as the ones all of my family has. Are these capable of the 700 mA needed? Or do I need a larger/smaller power supply in order to properly run the RPi without having shortages or overloading the board? I haven't checked but my TV might even have a USB port would that be good enough?
Which leads me to my next question about the accessories. I plan on adding a wireless USB mouse/keyboard combo as well as USB wifi dongle, and maybe a portable external hard drive but at bare minimum an 8 gb flash drive. Definitely going to buy a USB hub to accomodate the need for more USB ports but I don't want to overload the RPi and break the thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to post links to some of the accessories you got for your RPi. Interested to see what kind of mouse/keyboard combos and wireless adapters you guys went with.
