Ideas on what to use my RPiB and RpiB+ for (See thread details)

BobbyT28

Hi,

I have 2 RPi's sitting around the house doing nothing. So I am looking for ideas on what to use them for?

My current setup at home:

House wired with CAT6
Router/AP: Asus RT-N66U
Modem: eircom F2000
Synology NAS DS214play (HTPC)
Neo MX Android box (Kodi, showbox etc)
Chromecast for Media to non smart TV
XboxOne

The reason I am listing everything is to see if I can intergrate them into my current setup?

Would love to hear some ideas. Not really sure what I could use them for! Have a laptop with dual boot (Kubuntu & Windows 7) and a Windows 7 PC, Not interested in using them as a Desktop PC.
Be interested in hearing what people are using them for?

Thanks,
BobbyT28

The H-18 Blue Dream is a bit too expensive for this project!
