Don't expect worlds of performance. It's probably not a whole lot faster than a decent P3. The goal for Atom is power savings. Intel will very soon have two mini-ITX boards on the open market though you'd be spending three times as much to get setup with one. Boards should be under $150, CPU from under $100 and up to whatever you want to spend. That would be a far more powerful tiny system. The Atom boards are readily available under $100 though.
