Most Micron components are off the shelf items. Micron memory is some of the best. They use Micronics motherboards which I think are home grown models.
I think the fact that it won the oscar has to do more with it than the appearance of it on slashdot. Look what happens to the movie theaters the week after a film wins and it is still playing.

I think the problem with this is that full size units consume a LOT more power than a laptop and thus eat battery power candy. I have a 250VA UPS on my 233MMX, 3HD, 1CD, 17" an it only last like 2 min before it is dead. I don't think the batteries from laptops have that much capacity.
