"Intel's first 'open-source PC' on sale for $199"
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2045583/intels-first-opensource-pc-on-sale-for-199.html
The PC, called the MinnowBoard (shown above), is basically a motherboard with no casing around it. It was codeveloped by Intel and CircuitCo Electronics, a company that specializes in open-source motherboards, and went on sale this month for $199 from a handful of retailers.
The Community page on the MinnowBoard website has promising links:

Anyone excited about this board? Will x86 open up use-cases that aren't feasible on ARM?
Cheers,
Drew
