@Legion

 You can right now order a Pegasos board on pegasosppc.com and not have to fight anyone off. It will be a little longer thank a week  to get it in your hands though. First production run will be run for devs and testing purposes this will be followed by mass run for worldwide distro. You will be able to run without a fan and virutally silent with G3. I have made a vcr like case Pegasos that is almost silentl except for the almost imperceptable whirr of the sfx psu. It is completly cool as well.
So, if you want a board go ahead and order it will just be a little bit before you recieve it.

magnetic:

The US dealer is listed as Utraspec, but a search of their site turns up nothing regarding Pegasos.  It appears I can order online via pegasosppc.com, but where is this coming from?  and how long to get it?  

Like I asked in my previous post, the first run is going to be dev-candy.  When will *I* be able to purchase one and have it within a week or two?  :-?

Ultraspec is a new distributor and has not updated their site yet, they will in due time tough. It says so on the bottom of the peg site, and several has mentioned this over at OSNews.com

I am new to Pegasos design - and looking at those pics it certanly looks nice - but why only 2 (two) pci slots - it looks to me that expansion capabilities are minimum with this one... or am i wrong??!?!? :-?

@Ogy,

Considering that sound, networking, firewire and everything else is built onto the motherboard, what more do you need?  Video goes in the AGP slot.

I don't believe I've actually built a single computer in the last 5 years that needed more than one PCI slot and that was usually for a network card.  (I have almost forgotten what a floppy drive looks like).  I have zero PCI cards in my Pegasos and use it quite regularly.

Keep in mind that this is a Micro ATX motherboard and they normally NEVER come with more than three PCI slots (if they even have more than two).

@Wayne

I can see your point - you are right!!! But I am one of those guys who does many things on computer (and I mean MANY) from video making to photography, music etc... All 5 pci slots in my win2k machines are filled - Audigy, TV Card, Raid, SCSI etc. I was just thinking that an inch bigger board would accomodate extra slot that even if you dont use it initialy it would give you peace of mind that in case you need to expand your system you can do so without compromises...

"But you're gonna find it hard to get a hard drive that's ultra-quiet, and even harder to get a silent PSU"

I have the Seagate Barracuda V which is very quiet, and seems to perform well. Unfortunately I've yet to get other silent components like the PSU, so its efforts are mostly wasted on my setup, but I've seen the Seagate Barracuda IV in action on a PC that was completely silent.
