But why does it have to be small is my question?
After a certain point you have to look to complex custom cooling solutions etc. to squeeze more power out of a small form factor. And even then you can only squeeze so much more out of it. The "standard" hardware tends to be cheap but also weak. But if you're willing to get a larger system it's fairly easy to get lots of processing power for cheap. You also have to trade flexibility (expansion and usb ports for example) for small size.
The newegg reviews on that device are pretty mediocre. It seems to have a lot of shortcomings if you dig deeper.
You can build a sandy bridge celeron based nettop for around $300 that should meet your needs and be more flexible.
