Looks about the size of a Wii, shame its Acer. I'll wait untill a different company brings something like this out before I even consider it for say an emulation/mame box or whatever.

Wow. Super price. Any more news on the Atom 330 unit? The 330 is a much more flexible starting point for doing something interesting with the unit.
IMO, the 249.99 model SHOULD be using an Atom 330. A $330 only costs $5 more, but offers 100% better performance. Nonetheless, great price considering it includes good HDD size, 2GB RAM, and MS OS. |

Hooray for Atom chips now paired with crappy Intel video! Yay!
Would love one of these for an HTPC. Wonder how it works with Mythbuntu... EDIT: that was supposed to be "not paired with" :P
