Ok...
So, I'm rollin with a Thin Client. I know some of you think its gay, but let me tell you I've run across a real gem in a small package.
800mhz VIA mini-itx board (fanless), 1/2 gig of ram, bootable CF drive, PCI expansion slot, IDE channel,serial interface, USB, full PC BIOS and 12V power supply already installed. Real simple and inexpensive. Plenty of horse power for what I do. I have a few of these...I like them so much I think I might make a Myth TV front end with one and perhaps a firewall with another.
I bought a pile of them...so if anyone is interested in one I might part with a few...
Here are some pics with the case opened.
