I bought a couple of these late last year. I didn't realize they did not come with power cables, so they have been sitting around collecting dust. I planned to use one for the living room TV and one as a classic console game emulator. I didn't think Dominions would run on it. When I get around to ordering the rest of the components, I will let you know how it runs.

This thread stimulated me to go have a look. It seems like the minimal practical "starter kit" work out at US$100...

Have you thought of starting breeding from the pair?

It looks like a fun geek toy. For $30 you get all the guts of a computer that you can get creative on a case for. Tupperware, wood, an Altoids tin, the pocket of your shirt, maybe some of the really creative cases they have come out with for iPods and iPhones. Personally I like the retro looks
Retro Cases

Then I was looking at the keyboard/mouse options. Little keyboards like cell phones use, wifi, wireless, bluetooth. I especially like the ones with Air Mouse options.
USB Keyboard/Mouse

I like Linux anyway. There are a lot of fun little portable things that could plug into one of these.

That sounds about right if you need all the components.
