i setup a raspberry pi connected to the big TV in sudoroom
if you need keyboard/mouse action it's plugged into #1 on the
keyboard/video/mouse switch on the red wooden standing desk (next to the
big TV) although the LCD monitor of that switch is not connected to the
pi.
you can ssh into it at its static IP which is 100.64.64.27
learn how to make it display things:
hint,
DISPLAY=:0
mplayer -vo none recording.wav
the speakers work :)
