I'm also excited by this one. Anyone know of a release date yet when it'll hit the channel so we can order one?
One article says 'when it becomes available end of January or in February.". But I'm chomping at the bit for an exact date. For now I've created a google alert on "J1800I", so something should pop up in the coming weeks. I'll be ordering one for that price. Or actually I'll probably wait for the Quad option for $70 as it looks VERY interesting too.
Just realized though that this will require a standard ATX type power supply. Anyone know of a fanless one that is cheap & low power for a mobo like this? Perhaps with an inexpensive case option? That could raise the price quite a bit if there isn't one and add fan noise, which I won't do.
I'm researching now ahead of time, so hopefully I can find some power/case options that'll be fanless by the time I can order one of these...

Edit: Well, I've discovered a new type of PSU called a "Pico" that can work with a regular A/C adapter. Found one here so far. Going to research more. Still interested in input. Thanks.

According to their review, this is the best PicoPSU to get along with a 19v FSP A/C power brick:
