Hi Huxmut, Indeed the case you linked is the one that allowed me to have a pi in the living room, and does use the sd-extender.
On the subject of netbooting ; it would be awesome to have an empty pi to learn all configuration over the network. Firmware, OS, configuration and executables all over the net. A central server, preferably a PCP , with the needed services and storage could centralise all that. Unfortunately it would be wired ethernet only at this moment. And I use all my players and LMServer wireless at this moment. ( I know the disadvantages and risks, but it works for me ) I have been thinking about wifi booting, but that would be quite more complex ( SSID, passwords, chipsets supported ) and impossible until the bootloader is extended for this. And frankly I do not expect the raspberry foundation to put time into that wifi-netbooting concept. A recently purchased wifi printer however showed me it is possible to recognise and configure a factory default node to work on the wifi network without memorycard, USB connection or key input on the device. So technically it is not impossible. Still parts of the central repository can be done with scripting and pushing config files to a central node. It would be similar to the insitu upgrades and also have the same drawbacks. For me it is a nice thing to debate, but in my situation I would stay with card swapping, as it almost as easy and flexible. Only a full USB boot would help ease the handling.
