From the video, at least one model looks disturbingly similar to the ODroid-U3: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G138745696275 http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code... They say it has gigabit ethernet though, and the specs don't quite match up. Another big sticking point is the server software itself. They make a big fuss about it supporting "multiple cores", but no real explanation of how they do that. It's not like that's something that you turn on in a config option, so either they are using some already done server replacement, or they wrote their own, which I highly doubt, and would be skeptical about using/relying on.

The model in the video does look like the Odroid-U3, but I don't believe that those are in production any more. It may be that they will be going with the replacement/upgraded model, this ODroid-XU4: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G143452239825 http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code... which includes Gigabit ethernet.

  My thoughts as well. It very much resembles an XU4, which would also match their declared "Pro" specs at 8 cores, 2GB RAM. Personally I think the XU4 is the best price/performance package you can get right now in this form factor. Glad to see they seem to agree! Of course, if it's something else, I'd love to know.

    It in no way resembles an XU4, and if that is the "pro", I'll be disgusted, as that's not a solid 8 core. 4 of the cores are vastly underpowered compared to the other 4(All other things being equal, a cortex-A15 is about 2~3 times more powerful then a cortex-A7) And just look at the usb layout, there is no matching pattern to the video, and the video shows mini-hdmi, not standard.
