Mini-ITX AmigaOne in action running Debian and of Jürgen Schober's AmigaOS4 presentation at last weekend's OASE show. Eyetech's AmigaOne updates as published by Total Amiga Magazine will now also be made available quarterly at the AmigaWorld.net portal. Q&A session 22 with Amiga's CTO is now also available.
The pics are here - mini itx a1 (http://www.lightelements.com/gallery/index.php?gallery=05-OS4_and_more)

ARGHHH, MY EYES! I can see topaz/8 there! I know that some applications use the default 8-point proportional font, but couldn't they have replaced it with a prettier one by now?
-
eeeek! Did somebody say Topaz/8??!?? :-o

Prolly 50% more than you'd ever consider paying!
:-D :-D
Actually, it damn small. Like smaller than a standard power supply. Do they make special mini PSU's for these things?

Is it my eyes, or does the CPU card extend beyond the boundaries of the motherboard??
Hope not... :-(

Gamecube has the things of an alite and costs 99EUR only ;)
Uhm, these memory could be expensive...

@timo:
gamecubes won't run OS4 so I don't care about that.
laptop memory is not as expensive as you may think, check out http://www.alternate.es

From what i see it does. :-?

These are pictures of AOS4 actually running on mini itx a1 right? Damn, they were fast porting it over!! :-D :-D :-D :-o :-o :-o :-o

Not a fair comparison since Gamecubes are sold at cost or even at loss (only Nintendo knows for sure). Console manufacturers make their money from game licenses, not from their hardware.

@Casper
Actually that whole "sold at a loss" bit was an accusation, a but of FUD really, made by Atari against Sony when the Playstation came out at remarkably cheaper than Atari's Jaguar. What Atari failed to realize is that their supplier was still charging them the same price for RAM 2 years after the DRAM prices dropped so dramatically in the mid-90's. So the Playstation could be manufactured for significantly less than expected.
-
I'm not sure if I dig the CPU placement. Dumb question, but with the smaller design and things like laptop ram, how is this cheaper than an AOne. It's got WAY limited expansion and uses more specific parts than the AOne..
Wait....now that DOES sound more Amiga.
Oh, I can't wait until Tax Season. :-D

Seriously, I think this board could be quite interesting, provided that the end-user version will have another northbridge than the Articia S and that the price will be on par or below the Pegasos II ...

A Mini-ITX PSU is **less** than 100W, and that is kind of "special" today. However, it very possible to connect a standard PSU to it if you want to go beyond the Mini-ITX boundaries.

You have waaaaaaay too much time on your hands.
