I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard. I've seen the Ninja OUTFIT. I can confirm as true. Damn Amazon.

Don't care what it is, it's sexy as tits. I wouldn't want to plug it in though as the cables would clutter it up.

It costs 999$ and there are 3 versions of it. 3.3Ghz, 8GB ddr3, integrated graphics (the 999$ version)
But seriously, 999$ is a lot.

I love David's face when the interviewer mention's Valve, and that what's in his hand that has "Piston" on it, is an empty box.

Granted integrated graphics are getting much better, but I can't help but look at a package that small that clearly has no dedicated GPU or much if any storage and think that it's WAY overpriced. Hell, even at half the price mentioned I wouldn't be interested.
I'm not sure "Piston" is a great marketing name either. So do I need a battery (PSU), engine block (HDD), and valve cover (KB) to go with this barest of bones starter kit? With all those ports on such a tiny box, I'm picturing more clutter, not less, not to mention a final price that is beyond what most would even consider paying.

I'm now expert but if this type of setup could integrate the A10-apu from AMD the videocard would be crazy ! But still watch out the heat in this little box. Could also start a market for revisited PCI-x 1x short slot with a really low profile videocard. Since the fan is on the end it could suck the air fro the fanless vid card.
