    Thin clients anyone?
    Bit pricey for that actually, still really nice design.

    Nice idea, excessively priced. I'd be tempted as a little server box to play with or to pop next to a TV. It may be small but it really needs to come in around the cost existing net-top boxes or at the least similarly performing laptops.

    Far too pricey, and while it's nice to have a compact machine, I loathe their hyperbolic marketing.

    One problem I foresee is the weight of wires hanging out the back will probably drag it away from wherever you want to keep it...

    Hmmm, nice design though. Just too pricey... nearly £700 for an Athlon?

    How much?!

    They need to stick an apple logo on it to be worth that much.

    Pricey? This changes everything, again. Magical.

    Re: News - Xi3 show off tiny customisable computer

    miniaturization is always expensive, throw modularity into the mix aswell as a touch of uniqueness and there is another hike to the price tag.
    I still agree its too expensive however i can understand it.
