I've got an epia based machine myself. I've had a challenge getting the 
hardware support going, but I think it is now possible to do without 
leaping through more hoops than I've even managed to leap through. If your 
desktop use is somewhat light, I'd expect an epia to make a fine desktop. 
I suspect it will run out of steam if you start to hammer it, however.

How's that for a properly wishy-washy response? 8-/ Truthfully, I'd expect 
it to work for many people. YMMV.
