These are surprisingly nice machines and the power envelope is also pretty good. These have a more sensible layout of the external ports than the NUC, though I'm not sure how it looks on the inside.

Nice looking little machines, paper release

These look nice, unfortunately you cannot buy them anywhere yet.

Given the track record of this company, they should appear on the market sooner or later... But couldn't they have made the release/"unveiling" when the machines are available on the market?

Using VLAN and a cheap switch that supports VLAN make the choice of you mainboard a lot easier.
