  I was just wondering how it all worked out for you, and would like to see any
links you
have found for hardware.
 Due to a shipping glitch I _just today_ received my Multia.  can't beleive how
small it is!
BTW they do have more, but I see that they are now selling Bare Bones units for
$79
The PIA delivery dates keep getting pushed back, probbably didn't help that RAM
prices
have recently trippled.
