[geeks] Opinions on Pegasos?

[David Cummings]

I've been intrigued by that for some time. Unfortunately, the specs
aren't terribly intriguing, and the design doesn't seem to have been
updated in some time. ...not to mention their site is a pain and a
half! Still, it's the closest thing to commodity PPC hardware,
excluding IBM and Apple's money-hungry versions. Heck, just grab an
Xbox2 when it comes out later this year, if the rumors were correct,
it'll have a fair bit of Power power :-) . (just hope it doesn't go up
in flames...)
