Ya that is great, the size and all, but like what the hell could you do with it? To big for a handheld, and to underpowered to play games on. Even for a laptop...But i guess its cool. :rolleyes:

its got USB and what looks like an IDE on the edge. No physical connectors though; everything is just headers

Looks bigger than a 80mm fan, unless that person has small hands. :rolleyes:

well, if it really is 8cm square, it should be the same size as an 80mm fan :)

It IS 80x80mm which is exactly as a normal PSU fan size.
This board is for home multimedia system where you watch movies , play music and video clips and so on.The C3 core has integrated eth , north and south bridge , USB support , EIDE , and many other things you may need for such a system.Actually it has everything needed for multimedia system.The most important thing here is to be quiet and compact ... with this board you get everything.I want to mention that C3 needs just a passive cooling (radiator).
One more thing - I`m not sure about the RAM but I think it`s integrated and ir is not upgradeable.
Here's another picture of the board with mounted cooler and cables attached on it :
