1) A starter to the world of computer programming using Scratch 2) Use the Raspberry Pi as an inexpensive media centre. 3) Attach a large external hard disk to the USB ports and create your own inexpensive and low-power NAS server. 4) Given the incredibly low power requirements of the Raspberry Pi and its silence (no fan noise), it has the potential to be a useful personal web server. 5) Make your own secure file repository, joining the cloud computing revolution. 6) Build your own Arcade cabinet to play your favourite arcade games. 7) Home-brew voicemail system using FreeSwitch. 8) Convert the device into a touchscreen tablet.
