Although it looks wonderful, I caution the excitement. The
questions are really
1) What will the street price be?
2) And at what volume?
3) With which mains plugs? The US ones are not mechanically
good enough for 24/7 operation.
4) Does it have a universal PSU?
There are already plenty of headless PCs available in this
price/power bracket. The Ebox2300SX takes 6 watts, has 3 USB
ports, 2 serial ports, CF card slot, a LAN port, VGA and PS2
keyboard/mouse, and a UK PSU. Of course I have a vested interest
as we've been using and selling these for a while. See

But it's a great device and I'm really tempted.
