Just finished getting my RasPlex box set up. I can't believe how easy it was. I expected to spend hours dusting off my sad Linux terminal skills but I didn't even have to. Only time I saw a terminal was to test SSH.

Flashed an old microSD with the GetRasPlex app, built a LEGO case, plugged in a WiFi USB adapter and plugged it into my amp. Enabled CEC on my TV and I can even control it with my harmony, without setting up an IR receiver on the RasPlex box.

Total investment of about $45 (not counting spare LEGO or the old microSD card) and it's every bit as good as the full-fledged Plex Home Theater on my 2010 Mac Mini (better even, since RasPlex boots about 10x faster).

Now I need to order about 5 more Raspberry Pi's...
