Have a few pi's here, one in the living room as a media center for mum so she doesn't have to use her laptop for watching films i download for her.
And a couple in my room one is running as a 3DS streetpass relay and the other is a retropie emulator box for when i don't feel like having the pc on. At some point i;ll end up with another to make a LED ambilight for the back of my tv.

I haven't jumped on this trend yet but it does seem quite interesting in terms of emulation. How is it with MAME and what are some of the most powerful games it can play (Mars Matrix perchance?).
I've been thinking of making a bartop arcade cabinet and if this is powerful enough I'll use it as I was considering using a laptop.

I would post a pic, but they all look the same to me....
Not a huge upgrade, but there you go.

When it comes to a Pi with retropie, would I be right in thinking the only difference between all the ones available on eBay is what’s set up in the SD card? I want one for the small form factor, but worried I’ll buy one only for it to be poorly set up with ****ty filters etc by people who don’t know how retro games should look.

Let me know if you're after it for use on a CRT Colin and I can advise if you fancy. As you know I've got custom builds for arcade cabs crts and pvms etc. I've used all sorts from vga hats to custom scart cables. If you're just after hdmi though it's very straightforward though and that's isn't really my area of expertise.3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

You shouldn't need anything else. A wireless keyboard/mouse combo can be handy, but not essential.
