First Chrome OS Desktop PC Announced
It is not a device originally engineered to run Chrome OS, but was initially created to run Windows 7 and Suse Linux. on July 4, the company says the box will also be available with Chrome OS.
Design is a matter of taste, but the Chromium PC surely is different and may be something you are more willing to display in your family room than a netbook. The computer is built using a modular inside and out. Switching a board on the inside can switch the operating system, while multiple systems create a scalable architecture.
The specs for the Chromium PC aren't final yet, but current Windows/Linux versions run on 8 to 25 watt AMD Athlon single- or dual-core processors. The PC will provide six USB ports, two eSATA ports, DisplayPort and DVI interfaces as well as Ethernet, video/audio and power connections. It is not a particularly cheap PC, as prices currently start at $849 and top out at about $1500 if equipped with a 128 GB SSD and a faster processor. Among the customization options is a chrome finish ($30).

The price reinforce that idea.
You have to wonder who they are using for marketing and consulting....obviously a firm that will tell them anything they want to hear.
LOL, good one.
now if Google made it so that it only runs on their computer hardware then the first post is dead on..their fruit should be a lemon.
Google has to learn that their not Apple; and they can't sell overpriced crap to sheep with deep pockets.
i say they have a good chance because there is a lot of sheep in NA
