This is really cool, but yeah I can't afford it. I'm happy that people are pursuing projects like this instead of just bluetooth keyboards with Spectrum branding.

I didn't know a price had been discussed, what have they said it will cost?

I was quoting the FlapMan. I just assumed that was the price of what we were talking about. My bad.

Ah right no problem, thought I'd missed some kind of pre-order notice.

Yeah I heard/read that somewhere too but can't remember where.

EDIT:

Seems even better value too that there are an extra 42 cores that will run on it.

It`s on the Q/A on their website

Looks like this is going live tonight on Kickstarter.

 

[Stainy]

Sure does

 

[erico]

Will be nice to see how will it score, I have confidence it will work out, but by how much more?

 

[vcoleiro1]

Did this go live yet?

I can't see it on Kickstarter

 

[Stainy]

I guess it isn`t live yet then

If they submit tonight then it`ll be a day or two.

Woah! A quarter of a million quid - that's a big goal. Or about 1500 computers sold in a month or so at the base level. That sounds like a reasaonable final number of units sold to me for the sort of project I took this to be, rather than the sort of thing needed to kickstart production, but if they can achieve it then more power to them!
