Look for an article with the title "Flat Panel Linux Box for $99" on March 11.

I was looking at one this morning. The screen isn't really great, but
it looks like a neat little box. I'll probably pick up a couple. One
of those looks like it would be a nice little device to drive a pcb
cnc mill I'm working on. They'd also make a nice dro frontend. As long
as you can live with no expansion slots and comm through either the
parallel or a serial port (and are comfortable hacking brand new hardware).

When the company goes bankrupt, they ought to get pretty cheap in
garage sales (if you can find them)
