its a bit weird to me ud need to be contributor to their software to work in operations or hardware, but I suppose its ok for tinycompany. in long term its likely better to have domain experts and not bias everything towards the same thing.

the boxes look cool but how good are they really? the cheapest box seems pricey at 12 for a what is essentially a few gaming gpus. i dont see why you couldnt make that like half the price. u could do a PC/server build thats much much faster for way less. size doesnt matter if its more than twice the price i think...

the more expensive box has atleast real processing gpus but afaik also not very popular ones, this one seems maybe more fair priced (there seems a big difference in bang for buck between these???).

the third one suggested looks like a joke.

dont get me wrong, this seems like a really cool idea. But i dont see it taking off as the prices are corporate but the product seems more home use.

maybe in time they will find a better balance, i do respect the fact that the component market now is sour as hell and making good products with stable prices is pretty much i possible.

id love one of these machines someday, maybe when i am less poor, or when they are xD.

(love the styling of everything, this is the most critical i could be from a dumb consumer perspective, which i totally am btw.)
