I like the product - I'm a little disappointed that the website doesn't offer "pre-built" models without having to build it from the ground up.
Lazy, I guess. :P
Haoh, you might want to try http://www.ibuypower.com/product-pc/pocket-epc.htm for a SFF PC you can have built to your spec (more or less), if you don't want to put it together yourself. I haven't had any dealings with them personally, but I've heard some good things about Ibuypower.com
After reading up on it a bit, this is kinda neat. I'm not the power user I once was, and one of these tiny little things would be perfect to replace my dying laptop. (I only use the laptop in my living room.) One of these+ cheap LCD monitor would make me happy.
I may get one the next time I need a CPU upgrade, unless I can find one for a 1.3 gig athlon with SDram.
Hopefully those things aren't as awful as the "Book PC" line of computers were. A buddy of mine got one, and the modem got fried in a lighting storm, and because everything was integrated it basically turned his PC into a doorstop...
I'm also thinking about moving up to the SN41G2. It has a better video card, a prettier case and can support a faster CPU.

Build your own, or get a pretty case. Both are good.
so.... they dont come with anything but a motherboard (without a printer port), power source, and case...
for $350? uhm... i dont get it.
i dont see anything great about this setup. sure, it "saves space" but a mid-tower case isnt exactly big.
/me doesnt think this is a good deal.
keep in mind that its not powering multiple drives, fans, cards, or ram slots.Quote:

I usualy build my own, but $995 for that spread is a pretty good deal..
It's small, portable and makes for a good media control center. Load one of these things with one of those open source Tivo-like OS projects and you get a video recorder and DVD player. Hook it up to your entertainment system and watch movies, play games, web browse, etc. on your TV.Quote:

This is one of those things where the "cool" factor overrides the price factor.
Yeah, but they're not the kind burg's interested in.Quote:

Alienware's overpriced anyway. :p
