The Raspberry Pi seems like it would make a much more cost effective system for digital displays (1080p support + linux/Web backend) Having built several digital signage systems myself with off the shelf parts for < $200.. $400 seems really steep.

Do your systems typically run off Wifi or hardwired ethernet? There's no wifi built-in on the Rpi. Personally I'd get a Pandaboard ES instead.

  A PandaBoard ES is $182 from Digi-Key. A RPi with a usb wifi adapter is $50 ($35 + $15).

    I can get a PandaboardES shipped to me tonight. How about the Rpi?

      If you can afford to wait for intel's board, which won't begin shipping for months, one would assume waiting for the RPi to become more widely available wouldn't be a major inconvenience.
