Any C-One users out there?

It's not really an Amiga, but is most some interesting hardware designed by a most interesting girl: The Commodore One or C-One.  I'd heard about it years ago and thought it was an interesting pursuit, but it wasn't until some recent articles about Jeri that I took another look and got all worked up and ordered one (yesterday).

Wanted to see if there's other C-One users out there, to get a nice discussion going as I come into this new retro scene.  Thanks.

There are some great, recent articles about Jeri Ellsworth in a Slashdot posting from a couple days ago.  It's what got me thinking about this unit again, ultiamtely inspiring me to order one (and to order one of the C64 Direct-to-TV units that she also designed.)  And I was never really an 8-bit Commodore user.

It is an interesting device, the C-One.  It will be interesting to see what the unit is capable of when the native core is finalized, which will basically allow it to function as a new 20MHz 65C816-based platform.  (The SNES and Apple IIgs were both 65C816-based.)

I am having a hard time finding an attractive, small, ATX case (it will fit in many mini-ATX cases apparently as it's only "one slot wider" than a mini-ATX unit) to display it.  Seems a clear case is called for.  

See a MPEG movie clip of the unit booting here.

More pics of Jeri here, here, here, here.
