Sure it has no optical drive, but for people like me who have an HTPC connected to a home server with all our DVD's and Blu-Ray discs, it's a great option.<br><br>I may still hold out for a model with a dual-core Atom and an nVidia 9300 chipset, but it's nice to see nettop makers start to consider hardware needs of HTPC users. I'd love to ditch the full-ATX HTPC box in my living room for something the size of my Wii. [=^D With a Radeon 3400 and HDMI, that little thing will make an amazing HTPC box.

So the price is about 310 Euro without the tax which is about $US 410. That seems reasonable, a black B202 with XP here in the USA runs about $320 before any sales tax or shipping.
