I must admit I am genuinely impressed with the Micro A1, the price is pretty good. To those who complain about price when pointing to mini itx X86, I would say this, a G3 will crap on from a great hieght any C3 or nemiah cored system, and is competitively priced with the more advanced big chip (P4-Geode-Dothan accepting as they are not mass produced boards in the same way that micro or standard atx boards are, they are industrial or engineering samples for the most part - read £1000+ just for the board)mini itx solutions out there, and has a similar power requirement as that of the C3 line. And this thing comes with 256Mb of ram, I mean just add hard disk and case and you've got a complete system! This is a KILLER bargain when you look at what its working against and its being offered to consumers (something that the P4-Geode-Dothan mini itx boards aren't) this is probably the fastest mini itx board out there for public consumption and offers in its consumer version more expandability then anything that the via epia's offer (a socketed CPU).
You folks comparing them to standard desktop PC's you miss the point entirely of mini itx. Its about size, noise and power requirements. ITs not about playing the latest games on!
But I'll go a little further, the onboard gfx is about the most advanced gfx I've ever seen in a mini itx board, certainly more powerfull then anything the epia's have on them and powerful enough to play all but the most demanding and advanced games currently available (Lets face it folks, if you want an all out powerhouse, you DON'T buy mini itx, micro atx or atx is where you folks need to go).
If I were on the market for a new system and had the cash, I'd be getting one of these. I would recommend anyone else interested in mini itx to do the same.
