Do they really say that they're the guys behind CherryOS?
Hay guyz we maybe did took something from that OrangePC project... and guess what, now we're starting something else. Remember, from the guys behind CherryOS means it's really good stuff we're doing. You can trust us. Really.
If I'm building a system with a budget like that, I'm not going to pay sticker prices for all of this. Here's a system that's better than that for the same price--actually, a little less.
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+ Venice core, $139 at Newegg. Motherboard: Foxconn NF4K8AC-RS-1.0, $65 at Newegg, and with the processor, $5 off, taking it to $199. RAM: Buffalo Select 512MB DDR 400, $32.25 after rebate at Newegg. Video Card: Connect3D Radeon X700, $70 after rebate at TigerDirect. Or, if you're Nvidia, try the XFX Geforce 6600 256MB, $102 at Newegg. Hard Drive: Seagate 250GB 7200RPM 8MB, $70 after rebate at TigerDirect. Optical drive: NEC 3540A DVD+/- DL, $39 at Newegg. Power Supply: Antec SmartPower 2.0 400W, $55 at Newegg, and it won't catch fire when you put something else in that system, unlike their power supply.
Now, with the Nvidia card you're at $497.25 after all rebates and before shipping. With the ATI, $465.25, leaving enough for another 512 MB of RAM so FEAR will actually run.
So we have 250 GB of hard drive space, a DVD burner, more RAM, and a real power supply, all for under $500, leaving you that $15 they went over for a cheap case. Enjoy.
Seriously, does it work on Windows? It sounds really cool and I've wanted a mouse like this for quite a while. All of the similar multi-button, programmable mice for Windows are wonderfully ergonomic for right-handed people (And I'm left-handed), but this looks like it's got all of the fun of multiple buttons while staying normally shaped. I think that I'd buy one if they were Windows compatible.
Not only are there suspicions that ATI will release their new shiny card in two months, according to the article there is also speculation that Nvidia has an even more shiny Ultra just waiting for ATI's release. Of course the article also claims that ATI's card will be shipping in 4-6 weeks rather than two months, so who knows.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?
