Shark boards

[X-ray]

I have posted this question here and not in the hardware section because the hardware doesn't yet exist...

My question: does anybody here have any proof that these Shark boards have been developed (preferably somebody other than an Elbox spokesman, maybe a third party tester?)

I was looking on the Elbox website and the specs seem to be good to me, but I don't know a hell of a lot about PPCs.

Assuming the boards come out with the physical specs as stated on their website, will they really be the fastest PPCs available for classic Miggies? (lets say, my A4kT with the Mediator board).

What I'm saying is, is it worth waiting for or should I chase down a second-hand Cyberstorm PPC?

@ all the people

Well it is a cruel joke they are playing on us at best (if no Shark exists) and a serious false advertising issue at worst. Surely they have profited on Mediator boards by falsely implying that it is a stepping-stone to a non-existing benefit if no Shark exists?

Has anybody challenged Elbox about it? If so, what did they say?

I wouldn't mind paying for a Shark even if it was expensive: my aim is to not have a third computer and I don't want to dump my A4kT. So I would pay for it.

But many of you have voiced my same concerns: a Mediator is attractive to me if it is going to support a Shark, but if the Shark doesn't exist I am not so keen.
