Rock Pi X by Radxa
The most bang for your buck with embedded computing! This is probably the most impressive single board computers (SBC's) that we've experienced for the price. This is similar to the Up Board and LattePanda, but more affordable.
Because this board runs Microsoft Windows, it can also run ARC directly. There is an audio jack for speakers and an HDMI for video.

Let me know if anyone wants to see a live hack with this to demonstrate the Rock Pi X with ARC
I do DJ, when will it be?
EzAng
Like the USB 3 and Nice collection of ports on the header block PWM, I2C, SPI Any thoughts about ARC supporting the ports directly or will we still have to connect to EZB or Arduino?
How about that price?! Cooool!
yeah not sure what it will be CAD + TAX.
Looks like I held off buying an embedded computer till the right time. I'd like to see this being hacked.
Okay! Is this Friday evening good for it?
Looks like it's only available at a small number if overseas stores. Where did you get yours and what size did you get?
PS, @DJ, After checking my spam mail I still can't find the email you sent. EDIT: Nevermind. I found it in the trash folder.
