read the main mailing list and you willl find it works perfectly well.
A couple of points to watch:

1.they have no spdif out, but audio over hdmi works.

2. they have a fan, even the single core ones

3. they are not retailed in NZ, but I have seen them on trademe for
approx $525-$575. You can of course netboot them and use the (sata
2.5") hard drive for something else. Unfortunately my laptop is ide :(

I want one!
