I just received my second one today just to use as a media player. I just finished setting it up with Raspbmc, I have been using XBMC through an Apple TV 2. I figured this was a inexpesive way to have another player downstairs. It runs very well on the PI and so far am quite happy with it. Takes a bit setting up, but that is half the fun.

I have got 3 raspis at the moment and they work very effieciently for my home automation project (which is already in development and costruction!).
one of my raspberrys worked for me with raspbmc for a few month, but it was not very satisfying because of the buggy software and very slow performance.
after each update you have to look if it works or if you have to restore your latest running backup of raspbmc...
... after a few month i gave up having a raspbmc media center! my blood-pressure is back on normal condition since that time.
my raspberrys (raspis) are working for me as home automation systems like lightswitching, heating+solar-hot-water controller, alarmsytem with webcam+motion and everything controlled by web from every single point of the world (html+cgi and e-mail).
my son (has his own raspi too) is helping me and learns on this way a lot of linux computers, networks, software and programming!

i think that this was a good idea for using my raspis!
