This makes the Alienware X-51 looks like baby's first computer in small form factor. And i would know, i bought my mom and X-51 for the house tv.

EDIT: Although im no masonry expert, but im pretty sure 600 bucks of that price tag comes down to using a half a million dollar machine to making a foot long slab of granite.

the slab of granite, to me, is totally worth it. I think it's a great addition. The base model is like $1200 I think honestly... but with an i5, etc. Go to their website and price em out. They aren't THAT expensive when you consider the R&D that goes into these things.

Personally I am still going to be building my own systems.. but good on Falcon for doin this for enthusiasts thumb.gif

That's a lot of phases for such a tiny ITX board. I'm impressed.

It uses a daughterboard, which apparently is a negative. EVGA makes a nice ITX board as well i understand
