Yes, I did say it was ridiculous and I own 4 units (a 60,30,20,20[one for me and my three sons]) so having hardware is not a problem for me but I was just curious about the practicality. The manufacturing expense for a single unit would be insignificant to me but the technical requirements of assembly would be. I had just noted that there were complete "bisquit" motherboards available with ethernet, audio, etc. Those boards were for pentiums however. When you start pricing parts, you can quickly see the price (which was never my issue) of these elegant units. My interest is in continuity and replacement.

There are availble similar items (the BriQ for instance) for a similar price but different functionality and application. The Neo45 is similar but I assume not well executed.
