I see that both of these are now showing "Out of stock" and am wondering if they have been more popular than anticipated, or if it was just that OcUK only had limited initial stocks of them?
 
There will be some lower spec (Celeron) versions and higher (i5) versions of these out soon :)

It would be good if they reduced the price of the existing models a bit, as I don't really want to drop down to Celeron level, and I expect the i5 versions will be even more expensive!

The trouble is I am always too impatient when I see something like this announced, and am actually thinking of buying one to 'hackintosh' sooner rather than later!

Decisions, decisions! :)

That was my first thought also, I'm leaning towards running a really lightweight Linux with XBMC and use it as HTPC.
