At ~$300, I'll take one for standalone use, assuming it's plausible to run standalone. (I assume there's a known-good MiniPCI graphics card by now, and there'll be enough firmware support for at least one model of card to make sure analog VGA output can be active at boot?)
With this talk of a 'terminator' on the website, you're obviously thinking of using one of the million generic USB 'universal docking stations'/'universal port replicators' already in existence, right? At least one of those must have 'good enough' USB audio onboard.
