But can it run minesweeper?
Fuck that, I'm sticking with my $4.30 MSP430.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;33859451]But can it run minesweeper?[/QUOTE] You have to turn off shadows and reflections and set model and texture quality to low
So it's like the inverse price of a mac but the same product?
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;33859451]But can it run minesweeper?[/QUOTE] It can run Quake 3
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;33859523]So it's like the inverse price of a mac but the same product?[/QUOTE] THis one is not shiny though
I'll take 3
Seems like something cool to mess around with and is cheap. Win win.
[QUOTE=SSBMX;33859537]THis one is not shiny though[/QUOTE] Ah, of course.
Totally getting a Model B when they're available.
Hopefully I can get a Model B as soon as I can. Maybe we can hope for an upgrade to everything on there to make it even more powerful for a cheap price.

[QUOTE=AzzyMaster;33859524]It can run Quake 3[/QUOTE] Excuse me. Adding this to my "In case I'm stranded box"
Definitely want one. For £16 it's worth it for something to mess around with.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of the B models.
i can make robots with this
I've been watching this for a while. I think I'll end up buying one, stuffing it in a box with an array of SD cards an using it as a backup server.
thats the pirce of most computers before companys add fees and put money in their pocket
I want to buy a couple and see if I can make a shoe-box cluster. [QUOTE=layla;33859829][img]http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2010/07/notch-interview-portrait-e1280400228443-590x365.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] While that's funny and I sort of agree, notch had the game available to pre-orderers.
[QUOTE=gRuKz;33860298]thats the pirce of most computers before companys add fees and put money in their pocket[/QUOTE] True if you only calculate with the production cost.
[QUOTE=AzzyMaster;33859524]It can run Quake 3[/QUOTE] It can also run Half-Life 2 beta But not Half-Life 2.
[QUOTE=Jookia;33860289]I've been watching this for a while. I think I'll end up buying one, stuffing it in a box with an array of SD cards an using it as a backup server.[/QUOTE] Could probably be a great discount webserver for static files.
Have a RAID card and it would be a perfect NAS
someone should make a kit for it to turn it into a laptop
on a budget media pc
Been waiting for this for a while. Don't even know what I'll end up doing with it, I want it.
[QUOTE=Craptasket;33931412]on a budget media pc[/QUOTE] Better to just connect your TV to your PC or something via WiFi.
So gonna get one of these. Probably turn it into a DooM server.
