Are any of you interested this compact computer?

I actually might buy one, if there is a heat sync on it. Just for maybe a home server depending on the OS's it can run

this is actually pretty cool.

Should be quite awesome for a small HTPC

This is interesting - could be some cool hobbyist products coming out

Going by the Nvidia website it will support linux, "Jetson TK1 supports Linux for Tegra.

It would be awesome if you can install Windows RT on it.

Would be an amazing ultra low cost parent computer. Has Skype, decent web browser (good enough for them), play videos and music (VLC coming soon), has Flash, has Office 2013, has a file system, boots fast and easy to use.

 

Of course, I would prefer a Windows 8 for ARM CPU, where it's literally Windows 32/64-bit but for ARM, and not locked down, but that is a different topic.

Looking at it more I can use it for security purposes, I'm always scared of someone taking my packages from newegg off my porch.

I wonder if its possible to install Android on it. If it can, I'm gonna turn it into a console emulator. Mario Kart 64 FTW!

Why does it need a heat sink?
