I am amazed that it can decode 1080p video.  This thing is amazing.  I
want one to put next to the television with a large USB drive attached.

I read somewhere that the $25 price tag (though this article says $35)
is for the board itself.  Even with a case this thing can't be more than
$40 or so.  Even for $50 that's a great price for what it can do.
