Yeah, it looks like a cool device.  Also I saw they dropped the starting bid to $500 (it was $600 yesterday).  It does seem a bit more than I'd really want to pay though..  And even with prices inflated as they are, you could probably still build a Raspberry Pi DOS emulation system for less than that.

It would still be cool to have actual x86 hardware though..
