I know a few people seemed interested in small sysem before, so.....
VIA has introduced a new 7"x7" motherboard/cpu called the EPIA/Eden
You can see it here: http://www.via.com.tw/en/Products/eden_images.jsp
These are retailing for ~$100 including board and cpu. The nice thing is that
they run without a fan, and at around 500-600 Mhz, while consumer only ~50 watts
or so.
I'm looking to experiment with Free and use one of these with a 120GB drive as a
closet all-in-one file server.
Hope someone finds this interesting. I probably should not send this as it is
off topic.
Feel free to vent if it really annoys you though :)
