I just checked out the specs on the board and (in my opinion) it has at least 3 drawbacks.
 
1: It's a micro ATX board which is ok if you don't have to add too much to it and
 
2: It only supports up to Ultra DMA 33 which, given the speeds of today's hdd's, would be a detriment as you couldn't take advantage of the faster hard drive.
 
3: After adding the cost of a hdd and a video card?????????
 
However, if you already have those items in an existing system and just move them to the new one then the price is ok.
 
You can always get one of the MB/processor bundles (a better board/larger processor) for less if your able to install the board in your existing case and put the components back in.

I may try one of these systems.  I've ordered from aberdeen before, and if I remember correctly the service was good, but the shipping was a little steep.

Has anyone tried the cube?  There're expensive, but I would like to have one as a firewall/server.
