What can I do with a Raspberry Pi?

Regardless of whether you have bought yourself a Raspberry Pi or are still deciding to (just do it!!), you will inevitably get to the point where you ask what you can actually do with it? I have played around with them for a while now and found numerous tasks for my Raspberry Pi's which I have become rather reliant on. Here is a list of links and descriptions to projects that I have worked on and plan to work on:

Media

With the Raspberry Pi's HDMI interface and 1080p capabilities it is the perfect media player. I have multiple Raspberry Pi's all over my house for streaming music to streaming video.

• Setting up Raspbmc on the Raspberry Pi - XBMC port
• Setting up OSMC on the Raspberry Pi
• Setting up a PLEX client on the Raspberry Pi
• Create an Airplay device on the Raspberry Pi

Gaming

Retro game emulators are an amazing way to relive the "good ol' days". The Raspberry Pi is more than capable of running any of the old 8-bit games and these projects are a must!

Web

Not necessarily the greatest web server for handling massive amount of traffic, it is still possible to host some static html pages that expose things like CV's and things of such nature.

Home Automation

This is an area of the Raspberry Pi where I am still busy trying to get myself focused so I can automated some of the stuff at home.
