A preview of the Intel Mac mini?

The distribution of mini PCs which we talked about last May (here) has begun.
The Aopen MP915B has an case identical to the Mac mini

It has a DVI out, an Ethernet port, two USB 2 ports, a FireWire 400 port, audio in, and audio out. The video chip is a GMA900 which is integrated in the Intel chipset.
It should cost 355 Euros... for the case and motherboard.
In addition this will require the purchase of a Pentium M processor, which costs around 250 Euros for a 1.7 GHz chip; a 2.5" hard drive, which costs a little bit more than 100 Euros for an 80 Gb drive; a DVD burner, which is around 130 Euros; and for memory, let's say 50 Euros for 512 Mb.
The final cost is more than 830 Euros without WiFi, Bluetooth, or an internal modem.
The product is thus more expensive than a Mac mini PPC, and hopefully a Mac mini x86.
But beyond this comparison, it is interesting to see what can be done with Intel technology, as it is extremely likely that Apple will initially use similar technology
