Yikes, $300?
I mean, I know it's small and VESA mountable, but... yeesh. An Intel D945GCLF2 'Little Falls 2' board is only $96 at LogicSupply: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/boxd945gclf2 Review: http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/2008/10/16/intels-little-...
Atom 330 dual core, Drop in a 2GB DDR2 stick for $30, and pick a case:
They even have a few NAS-style cases ;)
I dig this one myself:
I could only see purchasing an E2 if I was REALLY dead set on a 100x100mm VESA mount...

Intel isn't anywhere close to that--the CPU requires a fan, and I'm guessing the ATX power supply does, too. (The "NAS-style case" you point at appears to have two case fans in the front.) At only 30+W, it's not bad (and the features are indeed nice), but it's still four times as much power as the E2. Greg

mini-itx is (a lot) bigger but the Atom (a rebadged centrino) is a nice chip. Dual core version actually two separate chips (not even on same die) and with hyperthreading shows up as 4 cores in Ubuntu, so it's a tempting piece of hardware for more demanding users. We're releasing that board in a sealed, fanless box with a 30GB OCZ SSD. Will be the P1 - should have videos and pics on the site by the end of the month. But naturally more expensive and more power-hungry.

Aleutia seems to be a reseller of the eBox machines from http://www.compactpc.com.tw/. E2 looks identical to the eBox 3300. The eBox 3300 can be found for $150 US. Older versions of the eBox with slower processors can be found for less.

An Intel D945GCLF2 'Little Falls 2' board is only $96 at LogicSupply: OK, adding up all the parts and labor for this alternative, I get over $300, and that doesn't count the warranty and presumably uses a lot more electricity.
