  1. OLPC in Uruguay by aBaldrich · · Score: 1 · on Asus Takes Another Stab at Revolutionizing Netbook Market

    They already use a tablet-laptop (image) and every child in every school has one.
    Yeah, old news, is so exciting.

  2. Get an old computer by Lihtan · · Score: 1 · on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink?

    Not to be insensitive or facitious, but why not get an old computer? A machine thats a couple years old already has spent plenty of time baking off residual solvent vapors and other chemicals. You might want to crack it open and remove all the dust on the inside first, though ;-).
    If you insist on modern hardware, have a look at some of the ruggedized equipmnent that is designed for industrial use (note this shit's not cheap):
    environmentally sealed NEMA 4/4x stainless steel/ABS plastic keyboards
    waterproof/contamination proof silicon keyboard with integrated pointing device, that can be chemically sterilized

    You tried these guys?

    Backlit illuminated keyboards of the type you mentioned have been available for some time now. They are generally used in medical/industrial applications. And they are very pricey. Look here.

  5. The LPC-301 is better by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on 1.0GHz P3 In A CD-ROM Drive Bay

    Ok so it's not black, and doesn't look as cool, but it's got a CD-ROM and LAN

  6. Re:What niche by ChronosX · · Score: 5, Insightful · on 1.0GHz P3 In A CD-ROM Drive Bay
    Your arguments are sound. The folks at Stealth Computers Corporation appear to agree with you. They aren't going after those markets.

    The webpage the Little PC's outlines some targeted markets:
    Applications:
    Digital Signs & New Media Applications
    Kiosks & Public Access Displays
    Information Appliance
    Embedded Systems
    Process Control & Factory Automation
    Mobile Applications, trains planes & autos
    Ideal for any space constrained application

    If you're making a digital sign or a wall mounted kiosk in a mall, you could literally screw this little beast to the back of the unit (or inside) and no one would ever know it's there.

    The size does make all the difference in the world when you want the computer out of sight/out of mind and space is a luxury you don't have.

    It doesn't appear this device was ever meant for home use or a replacement for blade servers.
  7. Re:rack - good idea by Howie · · Score: 2 · on Lunchbox Computers for Live Music Performances?

    It'd look like this or this or this. There are loads of these things, and everyone who makes them thinks they are hot stuff. Thay ain't that cheap, though.

    You can get regular rackmount monitors too. (and TFT ones of those).
