Raspberry Pi is a small computer that will be used to teach computing:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

The more expensive model can be used as an HTPC.


Dimensions as per http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs :

What are the dimensions of the Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi measures 85.60mm x 53.98mm x 17mm, with a little overlap for the SD card and connectors which project over the edges. It weighs 45g.


What is the usable temperature range?

The Raspberry Pi is built from commercial chips which are qualified to different temperature ranges; the LAN9512 is specified by the manufacturers being qualified from 0°C to 70°C, while the AP is qualified from -40°C to 85°C. You may well find that the board will work outside those temperatures, but we’re not qualifying the board itself to these extremes.
