I use one of these http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9518 to connect a 9V battery. Works fine.
I have the same adapter as AlfredBr... works great!
Today LED's, tomorrow, the world!!! Well, OK, maybe servos.

Microsoft Tags are actually really cool things.

Thanks Bill.
Er, what can I do with it?

Well, if you've got a smartphone, you can get the microsoft tag app, scan it with your phone, and it will send you to the netduino download section.

Thanks for the recommendation about the 9V adapter. I've ordered a beginners kit that includes one.
What beginners kit did you order? Will any Arduino-kit do (or do you have to compensate for the 3.3v vs 5v difference)?

That is where the Netduino plus comes in. I just got mine yesterday. I program in .NET at work (mostly VB, some C#) so it should be easy to pick up. I have to install the SDK yet. At home I don't have enough room on the Windows side of my Mac to install Visual Studio Express at the moment so I might just VM it.
Having the ethernet port and sd card built in will be nice for the project. I am going to scrap the 4 button remote and just use wifi to control it. Well, I might put a couple of master buttons on the case as a fail safe. I have a Fonera wifi router that I can connect to it. Nice thing about the Fonera, it runs off 5v. A 5v 3amp voltage regulator will run everything. Anyone, I can put the 5v power into the 5v pin on the Netduino, I don't need to use the barrel jack, correct?
The Arduino then is going to be moved to a HUD speedometer project. Nothing like combining two hobbies

Quick question, since the netduino is 32bit are data types the standard sizes. Like integer is 4 bytes, short is 2, etc...
Exactly, you've got it. int is 32 bit. If you ever want to be explicit about it, you can use System.Int32, System.SByte, etc.
