It's just an nvidia reference ION system. Should be news all over the place. All of those tech "news" sites were pissing all over themselves when nvidia announced the platform last winter.
I will post some more pictures from linuxtag including some of the ion :)
Thx, I was wandering some of the site I usually don't on this lazy Sunday and ran across that post...
That's no computer, that's an old usb hub. Nothing to see here, go away :)

Shame Nvidia didn't sell them. I wonder why no one seems to make pico-itx ION systems.

Such as the Acer AspireRevo, the first ION pc on the market?

Is it pico ITX or a custom SBC? From the form factor it looks to me to be the latter for sure. pico ITX, a VIA spec, has designated port assignments and the Acer assignments are er... rather different. Could be wrong of course but I doubt it's that standard. Aside, the Acer box is just substantially larger than what pico ITX would require, it's closer to mini itx in size.
The NVIDIA ION is a development prototype, its way smaller than a mini-itx.
