They should have put it in a case that had an LED readout like the armband that the Predator uses. Then enemies would say, "OMG Nuke ... RUNNNN!!!!! lol

lump has a point, these will be popular in the marine environment.

While marine PC's are nothing new, they probably lack either performance, or waterproofing compared to this thing.

I can see myself using these at work. Occasionally I am involved with indutrial automation projects where we use PC's and PLC's to operate processing equipment in a VERY dusty environment.

No the price is high due to the low volumes and expensive sales and marketing channels.

They would be more successful if they had a more comprehensive set of industrial strength connectors (both ends) and apparatus as standard accessories.
you forget ruggedization increases cost and weight.

Maybe if you are extremely short of space in your room you can mount it to your exterior wall and run cables in the window?

ruggedization doesnt always mean Fool Proof, Water proof doesnt make it Weather proof and vice versa.
