[Newegg] Gigabyte Brix BXA8-5557 for $139.99

Nice price. I need something like this as well so I can mount behind my tv and stop using my laptop for my media pc. Clear up some of the clutter on my tv stand.

Interesting. Not sure how I missed that. I'd still prefer 2 mDP though.

 

An mDP to DP cable is only $7 ;)

Do not forget that you still need to buy RAM and a HDD (And an OS, but for mediaservers there are other solutions than Windows)

But this is a great product.

Yeah but you can pick that up pretty cheap and still be less than $200. Minus OS of course but if you plan to use it for a media pc then just grab openelec,

Should be decent for a small media center.

 

I think it's a tough sell when streaming devices are cheaper. But it's a nice alternative for AIO PCs.

Yeah but those streaming devices are crap compared to these.I see your point though. Granted, they have their uses, kid's room or elderly and such. For those of us that know better though?!
