This is one of ten beta Raspberry Pi Model Bs which the Raspberry Pi Foundation, an educational charity making very small computers, is auctioning to raise funds. These pre-release boards are from our test batch, and work in exactly the same way as the retail Raspberry Pi boards you will be able to buy in about a month's time. They differ in a couple of cosmetic details from the boards we'll be selling soon - we've taken some video that you can watch to learn more details. This auction is for the Raspberry Pi with the serial number #01. These boards come from a numbered, very limited edition of only ten units. We'll be auctioning two a day for the next five days, starting with the unit numbered #10, counting down to #01. They will be sent to the auction winners with a numbered certificate of authenticity, stating that the board is one of the first ten ever built. We'll also throw in a USB power supply and an SD card with a pre-release Linux distribution on it. You are bidding on a development board, which does not attract a warranty or support. All the money raised from this auction will be put straight back into the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and will be used to fund its charitable activities.
