I dont have much money so i got computers parts from near by recycling system place(dunno :P) for free when i wont sell them.
Example I have gotten these from there:
GeForce 2 MX 200
S3 Graphics Trio 62v+
A lot of 256-512mb ram (ok a bit slow).
Pentium 3-4 and AMD 3000-4000+
Some motherboards

I got my second laptop from there also. :P

1 ASUSTeK P5N-D SLI (NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI)
1 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (For 3ds rendering)
1 Crucial Ballistix Tracer avec LEDs 4 Go (kit 2x 2 Go) DDR2-SDRAM PC6400 CL4
1 Gainward Bliss 8800 GT Gold Edition - 512 Mo
2 Western Digital Caviar SE16 320 Go 7200 RPM 16 Mo Serial ATA II (Raid 0)
1 Cooler Master Standard Fan 80 ST2
1 Cooler Master RC-690 Special Edition + Ventilateurs Hyper 212 & TLF-S12 offerts (850W PSU kostenloss)
1 ASUSTeK DRW-2014L1 (Burner)

Total, as of 08/06/08 : 1105€

Not an extreme rig, but much bang for the buck.

Atmega 32 only costs 10€ :P

150$ for the girl with the red blouse.

Ok. I just pre-ordered it. I hope it works as well as it is suposed to.

pre-ordered my p&|a today too :D and now we'll wait.......

Sounds good. I hope there are a lot of those Linux geeks that love porting stuff in first 2000.

I hope, considering that they don't even have a finished article yet, that the first batch isn't crap.

I hope the same, since I bought one :D
Seeing linux working on the prototype made me confident about it. On the other hand all the work is done by the OMAP (CPU+DSP+GPU+RAM), all on the same chip. They don't have much more where to do a big fuck up. If it runs a webbrowser using wifi, opens PDFs, and plays movies that's all I want. It runs UAE: better. It runs a playstation emulator: Holy shit I need more SD cards :S

it is looking really awesome indeed

I want a GeForce 8600 GTS or something...

(mobile, of course :)

Pandora seems like vaporware to me. I mean, who'd be crazy enough to pre-order something when there aren't even any photos of any prototypes yet. Or nothing else that would actually prove the existence of such machine.

and yeah, i wouldn't call an lcd with picture coming from somewhere a prototype.

### apes on Planet Earth, psychologically traumatized by their own inability to use Computers ### refuse the new Era of Computation ### have mercy ###

When I try to order the Pandora, I choose postal order way of payment (I don't have a credit card). And all I get is a page that asks credit card (the protx site). Why? Is it because of Apes???

And I just read that 2000 preorders were made already. I wasn't expecting so soon. Gotta hurry up!!!

raimo:go check thire blog page it has dozen of Youtubes of it playing some emus and linux ..
beside these ppl who made GP32 , GP2x and GPx2x w/ touch screen...
i hope i am in pre-order list i sent my order for to thire email =o,

xiaomega: those guys didn't make the GP32, or the GP2X. It's a different kind of project, by a totaly different team.

raimo: there are fully functional prototypes boards.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L0YGgQ3S_X8 everything is connected... sure it can be fake, but would bother?

optimuz: you don't have a credit card!? Do you live in the 60s? =)

I am afraid of these plastic buggers. If someone steals it he can buy my 2000 euros.

GeForce 9600M GT, probably.

Pandora will be shiped with twice the RAM now, aparently.

The Pandora will be a huge success and absolutely devour the competition of the DSi and the PSP.

Also, McCain will be the new president of the USA, Monkeys will star in soap operas and pigs will eventually (propelled or not) fly!

I'm looking forward to the 'pandora library' which in the end will consist out of unfinished opensource programs and a handful of emulators.

It seems I am not going to manage to get the Pandora this years. And maybe 300 euros wasted :(
