Measuring at just 2 x 2 x 2.2 inches this is the smallest Desktop PC. And it's running Linux.

Specs:
300 mhz atom
64MB of SDRAM
external video connector
supports 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Flash memory card slot
USB port
Ethernet
and a serial port.

Can't run any modern OS but Linux with these specs, can you?

OMG the first thing I thought when I saw this little sucker was I WANT ONE. But read a couple articles and right now its not for sale and is being produced in Japan. They are still working out some technical problems but eventually it will become available to the public for an estimated $325 (dont quote me). Bummer, because I was totally seeing this as the main replacement for my NES PC that I still plan to make :freakout:

It is very cute and would make a great NES box replacement. Another great post Crusty.

That's amazing, except the technical specs could be MUCH better. Should be, IMO for the price they're going to be asking... >.>'

The whole thing about the price is that it is THE smallest. So now they can charge more. If it was the second smallest it would cost less lol.

Im still on the search to find something for a NES pc but since I dont know the difference between many of the mini-itx boards on the internet, I dont really know what im gonna find.. :/
