Seems like we're seeing these things weekly at this point, but Asus has what
appears to be a pretty sweet little machine at a great price point which
could potentially run as an FE right out of the box. It's a GMA 950 chipset;
is that the same as the Mac Mini? If so, this could theoretically push HD
with little effort, couldn't it? The RAM is a little anemic at 1GB but the
article seems to think that it could handle more. It also comes crippled
with an XP install but I'm sure that's an easy fix ;-)
