I'm a bit surprised that nobody here has realized about this amazing Efika demo, available since yesterday on power developer site. I got to know about it from a BBRV's blog post (which contains photos of yet another cool custom chassis for the Efika, dubbed "Genesi", no less).
MorphOS has its share of glory in this four minute video, with a breakneck speed blast of Wipeout 2097. The demo also comprises Linux, OpenGL demos and QNX! In all, there's a feel that a humble Efika can behave very well as a general purpose computer (its MPC5200 inside is very clever).
The video is shown inside a Flash player object (FlowPlayer), embedded on the page, but thankfully, it's also available in MPEG 4 form (with much higher quality).

Hi all,

Already ordered my Efika by blastwave. I?m curious about the coming Efikabox, which is very small and blue colored ! I want to use MorphOS on the Efika.

I like the Video but the quality is bad, too bad.

QNX looks fast on the Efika, fast enough.

I like the case, but couldn't it perhaps be about 1 or 2 cm shorter (less tall)? It seems there is a lot of space under the efika... perhaps is destined for something or so, I don't know.

Oh, and another thing xD. I supose, this is a prototype, but how is going the graphic card slot problem solved? I mean, I use pfor instance an ATI radeon 7500 with just a normal VGA and a tv out, and it wouldn't fit there xD... Interchangeable panels or something?

I have anothwe question, after seeing the third photo: How is the motherboard fixed to the case? There are no evident screws in the backplate, which would need "L" pieces to the motherboard anyway... It's a very clever design. Also, couldn't see a power connector.

Good point. The case is copmletely tailor made for this motherboard and that graphics card. Very fine if it's for a closed product with no provision for a different card.
Funny thing is that it's more complicated to make individual drills for each VGA connector than drill a single big slot for any PCI card backplane (like every normal chassis has, a row of them).

Of course, it's a Flash embedded object. In my original message (and on the page itself) there's a sweet MPEG 4 version, worth taking a look indeed.
