Pfft, you lack imagination. I've worked on a (very few)
apps that I'd kill to run on hardware like that. With
any luck lots of other people will think like you and
I'll be able to pick up a box or two from the skip in a
couple of years time. Hell, if it runs as cool as some
of the claims I've seen it'll be a perfect box to run
next to my PC. :)

If these boxes are good for signal-processing, I'm sure
that there could be a few big contracts for mobile/semi
-portable applications.
