I have several Pi that I hack on and one that I use as a dev box.
I've used mine to play with things like a magnetometer feeding data into an HTML5 animation of a compass, making a chat app using web sockets, learning how to install and use CouchDB, and building software from source code of all kinds just to see if I can do it.
I want to do some automated gardening and make an automated chicken coop door. There are quite a few examples of both of those to draw from and I'll get it to it soon but I ponder over all kinds of things I'd like to do.
Not long ago I got a WDLabs hard drive and case and set my dev box up to boot from the hard drive instead of the SD card. It's a 350GB drive and runs silent as can be and the case routes all the cables out the back which is really sweet. I think I spent around $65-$75 on the drive, case, cables, and power supply. That's a sweet deal.
