- 3amOpsGuy 14y agoIntel are just about to release the "NUC" Next Unit of Computing. Looks pretty reasonable, but significantly more powerful and thus expensive than a PI.

- michaelt 14y agoThere's a few companies that make "pico-ITX" boards that run x86 processors [1]. Mostly low powered chips like Atom, but you can get Core 2 Duo boards if you've got the cash. Prices started around $300 last time I checked.

- ojiikun 14y agoDoes anyone know the exact model of board in that photo? Clicking around their site yielded only images, and sadly little text.

- iyulaev 14y agoThere's tons of book-sized systems available, typically with lower-end AMD or Intel chips. Throw in a DDR2/3 SODIMM and a SATA drive and you're good to go. These start around $100.
