[GLLUG] Raspberry Pi, An ARM Linux box for $25. Take a byte!

[Richard Houser]

You need specialized hardware media encoders for HDMI capture onto
something as low bandwidth as gigabit ethernet.  The HDMI would only
be usable for output, or theoretically HDMI-CEC, although I don't know
what that would do to the cost.  If you want a router, there are some
existing OpenWRT ones for about $100 with similar specs.  I'm
personally still running a WRT54GS, but almost to the point of needing
an overclock.
