Not exactly ideal for home users, but for office IT guys, this is pretty neat.

Now that puts mini-iTX, nano-iTX, and PC104 to shame :D

That is something you ask yourself when you think the data or the pc is the most important, or in this case both.

I wonder if could be something for gaming ...

This is definately NOT for gaming. It only sports 8 megs of video ram, and basically uses networked storage for all of it's storage capacity, as well as shared processing with the server, from what I can tell.

It is basically a very miniaturized client, optimized for inter-office use to maximize desk space and such - not for a home user at all. You would need at least a semi-competent server to do much at all on this, and the only games you could conceivably play would be of the CivIII variety - not that there's anything wrong with CivIII, mind you! :p
