The tiny Intel computer Brian demoed at the beginning of the meeting was
mentioned on the list back in April:

Here's the NewEgg product page (which you wont find by searching on "nuc"):

(I believe the customer review by Brianosaurus is the same Brian.)
It's selling for $300 (no RAM). An i3 (1.8 GHz) in a tiny 4" x 4" x 2"
box and it'll drive two monitors.
Like Brian said, not the greatest value. I think you can get i3 laptops
for not much more than that.
No mention of what the idle power draw is, but it uses a 65 W power
supply. And generates enough heat to need a fan.
