Someone on kickstarter has a project that is a Raspberry Pi with XBMC in a plastic box.

With only 14 backers so far, and a few hours left of the kickstarter campaign, some guy have actually literally taken a Raspberry Pi, placed it inside a 2$ plastic box and installed what looks like the OpenELEC XBMC build with his own wallpaper on it and is selling it for 100$.

Now one could argue that there is nothing wrong with assembling some components for the less tech savy, but with a description like: "a custom debian linux image and a specially compiled version of XBMC" with what is clearly not his own compiled version of XBMC really is a bad joke.


To top it off, the desciption for 5.000$ backers is just hilarious:

We are not sure if anyone has this much money to burn, but if they do then we have a very special reward. In exchange for your generous support we will add your photo, logo or name to the boot screen of the MediaBox for all to see everytime they start up the system. Forever after you will be recognised as the Diamond backer of the project. 
As if the thing you really need is some guys face as your boot animation.
