And depending on how keen you are to get your hands dirty, getting an SD card formatted with OS installed helps you get up and running quicker... I think that's around another $15 or so..
The most amazing thing I have seen, the Pi Player from Dave Pitts

Every time I try Amazon, I get to the payment page then it says they won't ship to me.
I simply ordered the Pi and the Wi-Pi (wireless adapter) from Element14 over here. Overnight and good price. The SD card I got from one of the electronics wholesalers.

The occasional product can be shipped from Amazon, but most can't be. Which is pretty frustrating!
Amazon were looking at a local warehouse (web link) which I assume would mean that they'd start shipping everything, but not sure what happened with that
Forgot to mention - another source for SD cards here

Putting the downloaded image on the card is very easy. I used the Debian version.

Sean/all:
Does anyone know if the Raspberry PI can be used as a wireless input to a SanDevices E682? This year is my first RGB setup and I would like to avoid routing a 150' or so length of hard line cat5 from inside of my house (from my router) to outside my house, where my E682 will be (I plan to put it within 10' of my arches; I will be running 5V WS2811s). Or perhaps there is some other wireless way of moving SACN data to my E682? Thanks very much in advance!!!

The reason I am using the pi is so I can have the show on the flash drive and rtc on board and run stand alone without any connection to my home network at all. This is for the same reason to cut out the 100 ft cat5 and prevent any lag in the show from the network. I plan to have it in same same box as a switch or bridge with it out in the yard with shorter cat5 to controllers.
I am newbie with RGB controllers, but I "think" there "has to be" a PC running my E682 (?). It has a web-based interface that I am thinking has to be up & running for the controller to be functional. But I am definitely not 100% on that!! Would sure be nice to be able to stick the Raspberry PI into the CG1500 enclosure with the controller instead of tying up a PC!! I will have to look into this.
