Palm-sized Zotac mini PC combines Core i7 CPU with mSATA RAID

Hmm... I see an esata port. I wonder how this little guy would do as a media server and/or for being the host for household backups.

Depends if said eSATA port supports port multiplication. If it does, then many more products will work. It probably won't--leaving you to USB 3.0 & iSCSI (which, unfortunately, is severely hurt by having a single network port). Aside from that, it looks to be a pretty decent little PC. Sufficient for desktop and light gaming. I'd like to see an AMD FM2 setup, letting you use Bulldozer. Of course, you'd be stuck to low-power chips or the slower mobile versions.
