"The Space Cube is the world's smallest personal computer. The
unbelievably minuscule cube (2 x 2 x 2.2 inch case) packs 300 MHz CPU
and 64 MB of SDRAM. The Space Cube offers a healthy number of ports,
including USB, Ethernet, flash memory, monitor port, Space wire, serial
connection, and microphone. This micro PC runs on a Linux named Atom
Linux. Shimafuji, the manufacturer of the Space Cube, has
recently released the SEMC5701A, which is slightly smaller than its
predecessor. The Japanese have assembled a personal computer that fits
in your pocket.

http://www.neowin.net/staff/voidunknown/space_colors.jpg</a><br><br>My Synopsis:<br>Depending on the cost, this could make a very nice basic servers to complement our OpenWRT
linux routers, especially in remote installations where space may be limited. It should be used as a Web Server, Mail Server, DHCP Server, DNS Server, RADIUS Server, Login Server (ie: Node_AAA) or Content Filtering Server, etc
<br><br>If Disk Space were an issue, you could install a 4GB CompactFlash hard drive, or an external USB hard drive<br><br>Simon<br>NodeIRC.<br>
