A whole raft of vendors (MSI, Gigabyte, Biostar) have boards based Bay Trail based Intel’s 2.4 GHz dual-core Celeron J1800. These boards support for up to 8 GB of RAM via two DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM slots, and two SATA Gbps ports, one PCIe slot, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio, USB 3.0 (x1), D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI.
The best part is that this is cheap at less than $60 and run all your old apps :)
If you’re not feeling the dual-core version, MSI says there will be a version with the more powerful quad-core Bay Trail-D out in January/February for only ten bucks more
Update 5/2/1014:
The Celeron J1800 boards look great under $60, but still need memory/disk/case/power supply...so will cost a minimum of $140 for a complete system. All of a sudden the upcoming $179 Asus Chromebox looks really good:
The base model includes a 1.4GHz dual-core Celeron 2955U based on Intel's Haswell architecture, integrated Intel graphics, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of solid-state storage, dual-band 802.11n with Bluetooth 4.0, and an SD card reader and Kensington lock slot. AnandTech reports that the Chromebox will also be available in higher-end variants with a 1.7GHz Core i3-4010U and a 2.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) Core i7-4600U and up to 4GB of RAM across its two DIMM slots.
Can't wait to get my hands on one....great little Linux server or XBMC media center:
