Only for analog. As far as cpu performance I would compare it to the
VIA offerings however this will use 3 times the power.

As far as cpus go you will be much better off with an Atom. Or any
65nm  Intel or AMD dual core clocked at the lowest power saving mode
100% of the time.

The case is not bad though. I mean some cases go for more than that...
