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 ...

Do they make special mini PSU's for these things?


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.
