Hmm...  Can't play Crysis on that system - no monitor, no input devices (keyboard and mouse), no OS.  So they're assuming you already have $300 worth of gear (monitor, OS, keyboard, mouse) to attach to this machine.  At that point, couldn't you assume you have a full PC that only needs a better video card?

Still, this article is a nice composition showing that pretty powerful PCs can be built for a fairly low price.

Also, the blue rubber gloves in all the photos made me laugh, for some reason.
Prayin' for a 20!

gcc thorin.c -pedantic -o Thorin
