HardKernels new 35 dollar quad core SBC.....computer. Rasberry pi competitor

Right...well whatever you say.
i supposse DAW stuff is far more demanding and not linked to the gpu specs....where'as the 3D games demo's there are really impressive.
Still, why would forum members make very custom DAW os's for these little computers?...
I don't know about amd64 and getting hold of laptops containing them....but that seems a good
idea but are they 6 core for that price? how do you get them free?....if so then yes, your comments make more than sense.
i just think the hardkernel C1 is way cool at that price. IT's a usable computer as demo'd and
brilliant for 3d gaming...(when you think about somehting like an xbox....it has similar performance)

DAW is a big word. He might mean recording one layer of audio via usb sound card and recording that to the hard disk, this can be done by a DAW, but is not the only thing a proffessional will expect from it.
The thinkpad T61 has a core 2 duo I think. It has way more CPU performance than any ARM I've seen so far.
When I help neighbours and friends with their windows computer or network installations sometimes they don't need an old (sometimes partly broken) laptop and give it to me ;)
I got a playstation 2 as a present the other week, so I won't be using ARM for gaming any time soon. MIPS yay.

indeed hiro, Daw's can do a lot. But it's a full OS custom done for pro audio work
and i don't think a dev would do that on a computer that would not perform for it.
(well i am sure)...it's quite a lot of work. It is really comprehesive with real time
kernel and many apps installed and a pro daw. Ardour.
In summary i think what i am trying to put forward is that there will
be very few computers close to the value of the odroid for a new computer.
i think the gaming performance is amazing. Still, i have seen dual core ARM's
doing the same quality of 3D gaming at 30 dollars. m880k...
i don't see competition to it, at that price as a computer.
You see Hiro, what tends to happen is devs release very very custome android
kernels for these odroids...often with great tweaks and great improvements.

I'm gathering parts on ebay for building a DIY VR HMD (Head-Mounted Display), and this seems to be a perfect dev board for mobile VR!
And open source hardware VR!
So instead of having a separate STM32 board for the accelerometer (to make the USB accelerometer), you have it connected to the boards pins.
But I wonder if you can then use it to immitate the Oculus Rift's USB accelerometer (as Rift compatibility is nice).
Hmm... and it would also be able to provide inside-out position-tracking, without taxing the computer (VR is heavy enough as it is).
Yes, VR would really benefit from coupling with a cheap but performant ARM board!
Edit:
Here is someone who used Raspberry Pi with Oculus Rift: http://bitoniau.blogspot.fr/2014/04/oculus-rift-on-raspberry-pi.html
And it works... But the demo is pretty boring, at least he should have placed the view *inside* of a cube, to get some presence.
