That unit looks like it's intended for the rapid prototypers and one-off
markets. Not very promising when it lists VGA with shared memory.
For $200 you could have either the refurbed AppleTV or a new Nokia N800.
Neither is an ideal myth frontend but keep in mind...their native
abilities add a great deal of value beyond use with myth. I'll freely
admit that they have changed the dynamics of how I access media and work
away from the office (read: no more hauling around the laptop.)
And they are darned fun to tinker with if you enjoy that sort of thing.
