It actually looks like something i'd want to attach to the back of my monitor via the VESA mounts, but their stupid press release doesnt talk about anything actually related to the unit itself - its all about the bloody intel CPUs.
No price, availability or PSU information? core 2 extreme might work, but not if they include a 60W PSU
and for two doesn't GMA cut out half of the lines in blueray so that it can play it?
