Has anyone else seen this? It looks pretty neat to me.

After reading around on the official website and viewing some of the videos I've learned that it can apparently play the Quake 3 demo at a respectable framerate aswell as play 1080P H264 encoded video without problem. Would be pretty neat to strap one on the back of a TV just as a media streaming device or build another car-computer. There are two versions, a $25 version (shown above) and a $35 version with built in NIC and a couple of other expansion slots.

Whatcha think?

I think this is a cool idea and inspires my inner geek. Its not much in specs but I think you can get a lot of useful software to run on that. And for that size or price I can see a lot of creatively may be able to go into that.

what i find truely incredible is that it can play quake 3 i mean this little $25 pc is probably half as powerful as the 3ds.  http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/raspberry-pi-25-pc-runs-quake-iii-20110829/

So, do you think it could run Minecraft if it was cranked down really low?

Didn't think so.

Well, it was playing Quake III at 1080p with 4xAA, so I was just wondering. Sorry.
