Very neat. Has the first desktop version of the Intel Atom processor.

Cheap, too.

Any opinion on it?

I got one of those Atom boards the first week that newegg had it, and I love it. It's x64 bit compatible, too! You'd probably be a little better off financially, if you purchased the parts yourself, though.


~~~~Edit

Actually, after looking again, it probably is worth it. A picoPSU with a brick is around $50, and who knows how much you'd spend on a case, so I'd say it's a good deal.

Too bad they couldn't put a 2GB stick of RAM in there, but 1GB is all that you really need.

Am I the only one who laughed when they saw these boxes have gigabit?

Dude, grab one of those, a monitor, maybe some speakers, and you're all set for a decent little computer. That's awesome.
