Ehem, As a matter of fact, it has been mentioned a lot here. Last time
by Paul Davies in this thread! ;-)

This is one of the two hardware boxes that run vst-plugins using linux.
The other one is called plugzilla (or plugzila, dont know the spelling).
They both use wine.

I'm not sure, but I doubt you can run that many more plugins using one
of these boxes than using vstserver, dssi-vst or jack-fst, because
all the systems depend on wine. So instead of buying one of these boxes,
you could just set up an additional linux-box, it should do the same
thing, but using your own linux-setup you get full control of whats
happening, and you probably get more cpu-power as well.
