It arrived today, has a builtin os of some kind, and I have yet to make it boot from an u-sd card. Further stymied by a near total lack of downloadable docs.

But have you priced that bare bones mini-itx board recently? I still don't have that in everything combined. By the time I've rounded up a psu, and enough memory, north of $150 pretty easy.
