While there may not be a bare hardware versions, if the earlier leaked
information about the "hornet" is accurate (
http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/ion-based-acer-hornet-nettop-specs-leak-out-1080p-hdmi-playback/),
there will be different versions. However expecting there to really be a
$150 version may likely just be wishful thinking. Not that i would complain
if it did happen though, the standard version seems to have sufficient specs
for a nice frontend.
