You can buy an ATX form factor and get double the power for the same money. There's no sense in using mobile processors in desktop PCs.
The form factor is why this thing is cool though. I know a handful of tournament organizers who love how much better these things have gotten. (Also, this is using about a tenth of the energy that your ATX build will likely use.)
What's cool about spending ridiculous amounts of money on needlessly small products?
Like Minesweeper tournaments?
Because it's doing a tenth as much work.
