    The problem you will find isnt hardware, but compatibility. You dont know if the desktop GPU will work with the sBIOS.

    Wow. Is it still worthy to invest into such to bring this system back alive? The idea is sounding but the amount of work to get it to work is tremendous.

    That product never finished.

    In order for people to get on board they would need to test GPU capability and also if you can drive internal display. They got too excited with what they had and started a kickstarter before they really had a product to market.
