Hate to blogspam you, but I couldn't easily find any other reviews/unboxing videos.
It's pretty good and they've done a lot of great things with it, so I'm a happy customer.

Nice. I'm jealous
Very nice... haven't looked at ZaReason for awhile.
jus checked their desktops .. they are so expensive .. Dell is cheaper and if I build one myself, it'll be cheaper too ..
Anyway you say they've done great things, what exactly have they done to the system?
You honestly think their desktops are expensive?
Well first of all, Dell only offers one desktop with Linux, which starts at...
$428.
ZaReason's cheapest desktop starts at what, $220?
Oh and they just have everything setup and accounted for. If you insist that Linux doesn't work out of the box, just try this.

But the $220 one has a Celeron 1.6Ghz processor .. I changed the processor on that and other things and the price does come up quite a bit ..
the 428$ one from Dell includes a 17" monitor too and also a DVD+/-RW and other things ..I'm jus sayin an equally configured computer wud cost more from Zareason than Dell
I do appreciate what ZaReason is doing .. and am glad to see them promoting Linux .. all I said was that I felt their prices were expensive ..
I never said Linux doesn't work out of the box .. I have installed Linux on about 4 computers so far and in every single one of them, it's worked out of the box!If you insist that Linux doesn't work out of the box, just try this.
I built a computer from parts (didn't check Linux compatibility or anything) and Ubuntu worked out of the box on that one too!
