The price ($360, 280 Euros) seems quite high, I put together a 2.4ghz, 512MB RAM, 250G disk "cube" pc for 300 euros just a few weeks ago (everything bought over the counter in Tokyo). I'd love a tiny, low power computer but this doesn't seem to be it.

Yes, most similar systems are overpriced too. Part of the costs are the lack of mass production of these systems, as they aren't sold that much, and part because they want to make more profit on it than a mere few percents. I bet they would make more profit if they sold it for 150 euros.
