What do you guys feel about the VIA\\\'s APC? It\\\'s a mini-ITX computer board for only $50usd.

Personally I'd rather go with this...

The quad-core processor + Tegra 3 at <$199 (speculative) makes it a bit more worth it for me.

Maybe I'm the only one here, but I'd much rather see a MIPS-based offering than the standard run-of-the-mill ARM offering. (I mean, c'mon 12-bit immediate operands are just weird.) Of course, it'd be really interesting to see if Android could be ported to Notch's 16-bit DCPU architecture. lol!

Quote: "the Neo-ITX system board"

Says the VIA APC is a Neo-ITX board.

It looks pretty cool though, esp. for $50.

Cheers,
Aaron

I was just looking at the same board last night, but from what I've heard about Tegra chips I'd probably go that route too. All depends on what you plan on doing with the hardware.
