Seriously is you are interested in computing this is a steal. Have as many OS as you have SD cards - optimised for driving HDMI (XBMC media server) or headless on the network as a lovely Linux command line processor. See what fun Microsoft took out of IT!
No deal here. Cold.
No - you use your mobile phone USB charger. You will need a 2GB+ SD card and a HDMI cable to connect your TV or monitor. Also USB keyboard and mouse. Most people will have this stuff already. The HDMI cables can be got for a quid. You don't need any of this stuff apart from the charger and SD card if you run it headless and SSH into it from another computer.
You'll love it so much that a tenner for ModMyPi case will grab you. Otherwise let it run naked in all its glory. And as you can put a different OS on each SD card you can effectively have as many computers as you want. Just run one at a time till you decide to up your count to three like me. One as a network server for Windows Workgroup, a second as a media centre running XBMC and the last to play with ... The deal is they are now not vapourware.

tbh most people with have a spare micro usb charger, spare keyboard/mouse, spare sd and a spare hdmi cable, but its definately worth noting.
Personally I have on setup running Raspbmc (a trimmed down os with xmbc) connected to my network via a 7811un usb adapter, which I can control using a nice android app.
OpenELEC is also worth looking at.
I also have another which I'm toying with for various projects (automate greenhouse, diy remote vac, etc).
Definitely worth the money if you like to tinker.
Thanks

I know how to program, but I want to learn more about networking, electricity/voltages, and low level computer stuff.
Only mpeg4, they haven't paid the license fee for mpeg2 so it won't run that AT ALL, so just beware if you have older stuff in that format and you wanted to use it as a media centre. But it runs hidef x264 material like a champ.
It is has problems playing 1080p unless the file has a low bitrate and is mpeg4. Hardly has any processing power at all. I overclocked it over 1ghz didn't make much of a difference, even XBMC themes slow it down lol.
