I don't see a power connector on it. It's on a PCI card and this being ATOM 
based I would thing it's powered from the PCI buss. Excellent toy. Wish Santa 
would bring me a few...

What I'm holding out for is the multi-core ARM processors on a minit ITX. 
Imagine a 4 or 8 core 2gigHz ARM, using maybe 16 to 20 watts at full load. 
Would make for an awesome, portable cluster.

Cheers...
