Hah. I only of 3 Pis, 1 in a box doing nothing (model 1, dead ethernet), 1 running xbmc on the TV and one running my laser.
I've noticed no need at all to change the xbmc one, it runs flawlessly. The laser would definitely benefit from the speed increase though (10 minutes to convert an image to gcode, I'm not that bloody patient!)
Pi3 for the laser then, needs to be done.
Counted all mine and it looks like this will be the 12th. Not quite sure how that has happened.
Order is already placed. I'll punt the Pi2 back on eBay. Or maybe keep it to run a 3D printer idea I'm working on...
Now, what are these chromecast audio things you're muttering about? Actually, don't tell me.
Well they were priced at around £30, I decided I wasn't going to buy one until they came down to about £20, but instead they came down to £14.
One will go in my sound system thing, so I'll have the option of Chromecasting, Bluetooth or RPi running Volumio.
One will be going in the kitchen to replace the old phone running MPD.
One will find a home somewhere else.
So it's a wireless audio streaming thing? You mean it would save me having to reach all the way over there to physically plug my phone's headphone jack into the amp?
Yep, it makes non-smart audio equipment a little smarter.

Hmm. 14 quid to save me spinning my chair round and moving about 2 feet...
The chromecast has a wire. And requires another power plug. But it's pretty cool nonetheless. I'm tempted to get another while they're cheap but I can't think where I'd use it, the flat isn't big enough.
