Discovered this not long ago. It is a mini computer that is in alpha, atm but is scheduled for sale in November. It was made specifically to run Linux and be affordable to pretty much anyone.
The price point is $25 for the thumbdrive sized model and $35 for the credit card size model.
Sucker pumps out 1080p video using HDMI, composite is also a choice. Has a SD card slot in place of a HDD. Runs at body temp under load and they got Quake 3 demo to run on it networked in the office.
CCard model:

I have plans for a couple of these babies. I want to put one in my truck and another in my livingroom as media boxes. I'm going to take another and put it in my brothers car with a webcam so he can record his drags at the strip.
