That is without a doubt one of the coolest pc's I've seen, their homepage. Just think, it's only taken 20 years to see a pc fit in a 64 footprint. ;)

Uh, no, this has not been around for 10 years. And regarless of how much you scoff it's still an excellent little package. I might just order two of them tomorrow.

A game console, X-Arcade Controller, and that = one awesome MAME machine. Heck, toss Win-UAE on it and you have an awesome additon to the den!  :-D

I already have the X-Arcade controller and a fixed up Defender console, now I can just toss that thing in there on a nice keyboard drawer and it's done. The only downside to it that I can see is there is no SVideo output on it, so that means I'll have to use a 19inch monitor instead of a cheap 24 26 inch TV from Walmart.

I will never ever understand why people want to get one of the worst
unergonomic designs back to daily computing. The design that made
home-computers mere toys, compared to real computers ...



Simple, office space (desktop space). The design of this machine takes even less than if you used a notebook and plugged a real keyboard into it (so you can atually type on one). :)

I also will never understand why they stopped making slimline desktop cases (that fit under your monitor). They'd be perfect with today's integrated micro ATX motherboards and they'd take up zero desk (or floor) space because they'd fit under the monitor's footprint.
