    That's got function keys, arrow keys, and it's $20 from outpost.com. Happy Hacker is far more expensive.

    Take a look at the rest of their keyboards. They've got a big selection of all types, including several other mini keyboards. http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-7-keyboard.htm

    I got one of these (the 9118) bundled with my Gigabyte TA-1 and it suits it perfectly, fitting nicely with the form-factor of the machine. I think all these models are very similar, with perhaps the 5100c suiting you best; they've got a reasonable action for the price and are available in both USB (with an upstream port built-in -- handy if you wish to allow pendrive access) and straight PS/2.

    If you're buying a few of them you might want to fire an e-mail to BTC's US distributor (or ring them) and see what they can do for you -- many resellers put a high markup on these purely 'cause they're small (~USD30), but with a bit of hunting you can probably get them for closer to USD5.

  7. Re:A swing and a miss by MartyJG · · Score: 1 · on Linux Media Jukebox on the Cheap

    You're right about the keyboard/mouse thing for a living room PC - it should be all-in-one, and wireless. You could try the BTC-5090. It's better than the logitech kits because it's designed to fit on your lap rather than your desk - it's not a full 105-key - taking the numpad off really reduces the size, but it's got handles for throwing around the living room. And it's also got a thumb-mouse (not ball) - like a giant laptop-nipple for your thumb - it takes some getting used to, but is cheaper than any logitech or gyromouse I've ever seen.

    I support the logitech stuff where I work - but I bought the BTC for home, so I am speaking from experience - it's connected to the PVR/DVD computer in the living room ;-)

  8. "Book PCs" and "legacy-free PCs" by m08593 · · Score: 1 · on Cappuccino PC Round 2
    There are several PCs in a "book" or "no legacy" form factor: smaller than your standard desktop PC, but a bit larger than the Cappucino. Compaq offers something like that under their iPaq line, HP has recently come out with something, and you can configure some Dell machines like that. Smaller companies also offer a variety of machines like that. Often they do actually have one PCI slot, which is what you frequently need for small special servers.

    A quick search on Google turned up this and this.
