Competetive with Apple's pricing, anywhoo! And it comes with ubuntu.

That's a bit smaller than mini-itx... BTW, has anyone looked at the 3rd-party add-ons made for Mac Mini's? You can build up a neat stack with a 3.5" drive, USB/FW hub, I think even subwoofer, all in the same neat aluminium squarish stack... it'd be nice to see a theatre/tivo add-on for the Koala Mini which included tuner card, 3.5" HD, device hub, etc... in a stack-matching case. AFAIK you can have a short cable extending the PCI or similar internal bus.

I'd hardly consider them competitive either. Their "Ratel"
desktop series use onboard Via graphics. You'll only find that
on low end motherboards. I can easily build you a more reliable
machine for less money. Their "high end" desktop system barely
compares to what I could build better for less with twice the
RAM and I'd give you a better warranty.
Let me know if you want the specs on that.
That be all,
