PC Hardware → Raspberry Pi Projects

I forgot to mention this, but I got a Raspberry Pi B a few weeks ago to test drive it, and I'm going to flash Raspbian on it this weekend.

I was wondering what kind of projects others had tried with it and what your thoughts were.

EQ

I haven't picked one up yet, but I have had idea floating around in the back of my mind ever since I saw them start to sell them...

Using it as a car based computer, in the dash, to drive a minimum of a 7 inch screen that would replace everything with a switch on the dashboard...lights, hvac, radio, gps, everything.

Also, adding in controls for emergency lighting / siren / fire radio...

Doing all of this on a touch screen built into the dashboard..

A guy can dream, right

Seems ideally suited to what you have in mind.
