well, without note velocity and tactile feedback, it ain't much of a piano... smirk

it's a pretty cool plain pc, but probably pretty costly.
I'd prefer a plain desktop and 4 monitors hooked to a good digital piano over that.

I wonder if it has thermal issues. PCs in tiny enclosures tend to.

Doesn't bother the Mac users :P Apple computers all run the components basically right up to their thermal limits, and have basically always done this.

Not just Apple though, small form factor laptops are all running their CPUs up to 95C these days thanks to on-die integrated graphics. My X220 hits 97C when the graphics is running full blast on full "Turboboost", it's scary how hot the air coming out of the vent is!

When I saw this thread I thought someone wanted to put one of these onto their piano or something lol.
