i once removed the screen from an old laptop and used it with a monitor stand and a crt...it looked just like a modernized apple //c!! (which was my first computer)
Is it just me or has anyone else thought that an easy solution to making a cost effective SFF system to hook up to a large monitor would be to bring out a laptop without a screen? SFF systems I've seen over the last couple of years seems to cost more than a laptop with similar specs (probably to recoup the design costs). Lose the screen, the battery and possibly even the keyboard and touchpad and you'd be surprised what a decent spec £300 would get you.
Finally someone in Taiwan gets it! That is, not everybody wants a giant case with neon lights and plexi windows. It only took how many years after the Mac Mini? 3?
I hope they are not vaporware...

If they run cool and work well with TV-Tuners they can serve as a good platform for building media centric boxes.
This left, or your other left? Either Intel or DAAMIT is going to feel "left" out.
