I agree this is not a gaming machine or Windows 2003 server.
You can compare this with the CER Machines...
Do you know any other machine that consume less power for $249

For those prices you can also try using an Eee PC. It costs a bit more but at least it is a full PC (LCD, battery,etc.)
The 701 can now be found for 200 euros or so.

How about hooking it up to a cheap touch sreen? I recall reading somewhere that it comes with a browser already built in....

That's also easier to do with the eee pc as well.

Asus eeepc 701 power consumption is about 12 watt
@niknik I agree eepc is easier
with CherryPal you need a monitor.....

I think this PC is perfect if your are going to use as host for a wall display or HA server
