Little Lluon small form factor media PC

If you're looking for a small form factor media PC and don't want to wait for the rumored Intel-based Mac mini media center, you can always take a look at the Little Lluon, from Korea's TG Trust. The 4.6-pound PC includes 512MB of RAM, an AMD Turion ML-32, SD/Memory Stick reader, a TV Tuner and, of course, Windows XP MCE. Of course, you shouldn't expect to find this outside of Korea, so you may have to settle for something a little bulkier … or wait to see what Apple has under the covers.

is there any reasonable way to get things from Korea? Lot's of cool stuff released over there but not here.

Looks nice. And yes, I would love to be able to (easily) get some of the things from Korea/Japan/Taiwan...

Apparently, this is one of 2 distributors of TG Trust (the company that makes the Lluon) in the US. However, this model is not on their website. And by the looks of it their website hasn't been updated since WinXP Service Pack 1. Also, if you goto TG Trust's website, this computer is plastered all over the site. But you can't get to the products section because according to the alert box that pops-up "This section is renewering." (Yes, that is what it says, no typo.) So if anyone finds out where you could pick one of these up...let me know...

How do you pronounce "Lluon?" Is the first L silent, or is the second one? Or are they both pronounced?

That's really sexy. Can't wait to see how small they continue to make computers. Currently we take a big performance hit for the size, but it won't always be that way.

the lluon all in one (totally pimped out) costs about 3000 AUD or 2200 USD from a korean ebay type auction site. They come in 20.1 inch widescreen, 200 gb, 3.2GHz / 2MB Cache, 224 mb graphics cards.

the cheaper version is nearly the same except it has a 94 mb graphics card, 3.2GHz / 1MB Cache, a 17 inch widescreen monitor and no tv out , price $1450 USD or 1950 AUD,

cheers

You could try www.buy-proxy.com, seems like they have a system for getting hard to obtain items

The links at the bottom of their "US English" pages work (...well...some of them do.)
