    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering what the best place would be to buy a Raspberry Pi, aka the cheapest place :pac:

    I had a look around and they're all coming in around 40-60 quid without any of the extra stuff with it, is that the standard price? Not breaking the bank anyway just looking for the best deal.

    Still yet to decide exactly what I want to do with it though!

    Cheers

    You might get caught for duty and tax though if its shipping from outside the eu

    Ah not bad, comes from Hong Kong though so probably a chance of getting caught for duty and tax.
