Anyone tried one of these? I LOVE the idea of a 3d-capable PC so small you can ALMOST slip it into your pocket, assuming you got big baggy pockets, of course.

The reviews I've read are a bit mixed. Some complain they run very hot (no surprise there) and that they're excessively prone to failure. They also are mostly incapable of being upgraded. They're probably not for cutting-edge 3D games but I do believe they'd run EQ fine.

Zotac also makes its own line of video cards so this is one case where the PC-mfr can't buck-pass video problems to the video card mfr.

They're not real cheap but they're not outrageous either, compared to full-size tower PCs.

Anyone have hands-on experience and willing to share?
