I got the starter kit from adafruit. It's a little bit more pricey at $104 but they pack in some goodies like a charger, micro sd usb card reader, sd card (micro sd with adapter), cobbler (to work with the pins), breadboard, case, TTL usb cable (supposedly can use this exclusively to work with pi without need for external keyboard, mouse, or monitor, just use your laptop and ssh? I haven't tried it out yet)<div>

what recommendations would the group have regarding<br>
model to purchase, power supplies they've liked/disliked?<br>
And from where did you order the Pi? I think I missed<br>
the group order a while back but am happy to do individual<br>
mail order if folks have a supplier they'd recommend.<br>
<br>
At the moment this is just for tinkering, so I think<br>
board, bootable storage and power supply are only requirements,<br>
I'd most likely tinker with it headless so<br>
ethernet connection highly desired, video output<br>
used mostly to monitor booting.<br>

thanks,<br>
