I think Gamespot ran an article on them a little while ago. Anyway, it's available only for pre-order right now. But it seems like a great small high performance gaming PC. Although overheating may be an issue.

The G4 Cube looked much better than that. But they should learn from Apple, they look great, but don't sell.

And how, pray tell, are you meant to upgrade it?

I don't see the point in buying a PC just cos it's small, especially when I still have to cart the monitor, keyboard and mouse all about. I might as well buy a laptop.

Hmm... maybe I could build my own laptop... then I could avoid all the ****ty components people put in them...
