    thanks, but no LAN port and not available anywhere puts a bit of a damper on that option (and im not sure if its supported by brewpi if there are hardware differences)

  I purchased Pi 2 and a case from RS online a couple of months ago for a media center. I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. :(
  Not sure that you would need the RaspberryPi 2 though.

  Any Pi with USB and LAN (as you said above) will do.
  Just make sure you get the 2A power supply if you want to power the Arduino from the Pi.
  Research harder man, the ones they are using in their blog are Pi B and Pi B+.

  element14 is your best bet if you want something local.
  I recommend you to get the latest Pi, that is Pi 2 B.
  If you're on a budget, get the Pi B+.

  The hardware changes you'll be seeing is that the latest Pi has faster processor and larger RAM.

  Thanks for the answers

  Grabbed a B+, power supply and case from RS Online.. $4 case and $8 2A/10W power supply were cheap add-ons (and easier than waiting for ebay)
