There are Celeron, and then Pentium, below the i3. Main difference is the graphics part, goes from HD to HD2000 to HD3000, which is a concern for games and emulation, though the CPU itself will be much better than Atom/E-350. Prices start at $56 at newegg.
good remarks, you could go with an external picoPSU and small case. The cheapest I could find is the T-3410 at logicsupply.com: case+ picoPSU (35W cpu max, no room for expansion ie no graphics card) is around $70. That brings you down to a single fan: the Intel stock one, @600RPM, is silent. I've done that exact build for a friend. Tried it for me as a fully passive E350 with Asus's passive board, but lost my nerve seeing the temp was always 60-70 C, and added a small, and noisy, fan. I should have gone with the i3 + big slow fan.
for the same price, you can get an H61 board, and a Pentium or i3 (the 35W versions are nice, and not that muh more expensive) that will "kick the snot out of" the E-350, except for graphics, and even there...
i've ried to go fully fanless, with very low-power CPUs (atom, E-350) and no graphics card. The T climbs quickly. OTOH, a low-power CPU (i3 2100T with the included 600 RPM fan, a PSU with a quiet FAN and an 80+ gold rating, and probably no graphics card, will make no audible noise, less than the hard disk. silentpcreview.com has lists and reviews of components.
There will be GPIO/I2C/SPI pins on the board and enough info to use those; no clue about extra connectors available directly off the CPU though, probably not that easy to get to anyway. I think the Pi has no RTC. The video firmware will be the usual binary blob, the drivers might be closed source too, unless Broadcom changes their mind (not an R.Pi decision)
(I'm not working for R.Pi, just following closely)
even assuming you actually have to buy a power supply, SD card, keyboard and mouse (and you usually can recycle at least some of those), the Pi is vastly less expensive than a netbook. It can be plugged into a TV.
What do you mean by "mainstream OS" ? Windows or MacOS ? 'coz it does run Linux...
Latest I heard of it, anyone can buy units, in any quantity (starting at 1). There will be a "buy one give one" program, as well as a slightly pricier unit with a built-in donation (same specs)
nothing at all built in, everything (including the bootstrap) loaded at boot from the SD card. there will be pre-made SD images with an OS and programming environment available for free from Raspberry Pi, and preloaded SD cards at not much more than cost; Linux and Python (exact flavors TBA) at the start. Other OSes/variants/languages are welcome.
I think it's a typo, the non-open box version is listed with DVI. I don't mind open box, it's actually tested by tech support, whereas regular mobos pass through untested and can be DOA.
1155, MSI, no USB3 nor SATA3, nor overclocking, but apart from that, perfectly serviceable. Meets the needs of, actually would be an upgrade for, *everyone* I know.

What's your solution ?
Time to recycle those old Novell Netware licenses !
As opposed to someone who criticizes someone for criticizing someone ^^
I can fuck in all languages !
You mean http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story9&reid=207 ?
At the end of which he gives them a "Recommended" award, with grades between 7 and 8 out of 10 ?
Indeed, this looks really really bad ~

kthxbye.

the CPU core is ARM1176JZF-S , with extra broadcom magic, especially in the GPU.
Yes. See the wiki.

to make people RTFW (iki) ?
your spelling is about as good as your thinking.
circles would be innovative if they could overlap/intersect. As it is, Facebook offers quite the same feature.

1155, MSI, GigE, H61 chipset (no overcloking), no USB3 nor sata3. I don't see anything wrong with it, but then again I filled my e-peen requirement years ago.

by the time there's a fall to take, he'll have made so much money from kickbacks he won't care. Probably already doesn't care. Like those bankers....
and guess what, yours is not 5+ times faster than his. It does have sata3, but ...
Yep, it's very important for a mobo to have sata3, for example. Oh, wait...
