Just buy a decent PC for a bit more.

Seriously look at some of those manufacturers.... make sure you get a warranty.

This is going to fail. HARD.

Agreed.

OUYA, Sony Xperia Play, Windows Surface, VITA TV, Zune. Most hardware devices fail.

There's no need for this device. I can't see it take off.

lol and Swedish retailer Webhallen is listed as a supporting manufacturer. I love Webhallen but I never thought I would see their name listed on a worldwide site.

Get a warrenty?  No shit, I always get a warrenty when I buy computer equipment, what's the point of suggesting that this device will suddenly not include a warrenty like all new computer equipment does? (lol @ suggesting Gigagyte doesn't have a warrenty)
If you just hate the suppliers build your own with whatever pixy gold parts you choose & just use the free OS.

"This is going to fail hard", following a comment about manufacturers and a presumed lack of warrenty..., what are you even talking about?
