UK list for the most basic model is £263 (533MHz Pentium class VIA processor,
64Mb SODIMM memory, 64Mb CF, 3 ethernet ports. Natty black case, built-in
240V PSU, single PCI slot (5V only) and mounting space for a 2.5 HD. Has a
serial console.
This is somewhat more than a Soekris or WRAP, but when you look to the
slightly higher spec models they look cheep for what you get.
For me, I wanted to avoid the mini-ITX format with all those sound nozzles,
VGA connectors, mouse holes, etc. This box gives me a Soekris 4801 with a
lot more power and real estate to fit stuff in the box.
Other models have an optional 2 line LCD with 4 key keyboard that interfaces
via a standard serial interface. Could be fun for some projects - just need
to figure out how to get the m0n0 console menu into this format :-)
