Here are some more photos of the Bayard.
The Pico Bayard was, I believe, the real crowd drawer this week. As the name suggests, the Pico Bayard is based on the VIA EPIA Pico-ITX board, the smallest full featured x86 mainboard around.
The name Bayard is a reference to a famous French clock designer from the 1930's, of course. Jeffrey's design resembles the Bayard clocks of that era and has a built-in monitor for an all-in-one design that'll make you want to dance the foxtrot.
The VIA PX10000 Pico-ITX board inside the Bayard has 1GHz VIA C7 and 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Ethernet, integrated VIA UniChrome Pro™ II 3D/2D AGP graphics and is basically a fully functional PC. He's also added a cool wireless module to minimize the wires.
Jeffrey used an 80 watt PicoPSU and an 8" touchscreen LCD / TFT set at 800 x 600. What a wee peach. The video really brings home just how small this thing is. It's just about the same size as a...a...a...clock I suppose. Here the coke can is for reference only.
