Mini PC in an Actual Lunchbox

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-isn't-that-cute dept.

With all the talk about quiet, small pc's this might be the ticket. And hey, they even report that VIA is now Microsoft CE .NET 4.1 certified."

      Seeing how it's powered by Windows, it probably eats all the RAM all by itself.

      I'd like to see someone install a Red Hat system in a... (wait for it) red hat! Now that would kick some serious tail. I wouldn't want to wear it, though.

      If I put my PDA in my hat, does that count?

      It wouldn't surprise me if that site was hosted off that lunchbox pc. We /.ers have a tendancy to eat servers for breakfast
      or in this case maybe lunch :)

    This is ridiculous and irresponsible, mothers will be sending kids to school without food by mistake.

    This MUST carry a large warning label that clearly states "contents are not edible".

  8. Cooling Fan by theedge318 · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can also eliminate all those pesky cooling fans ... just use those refreezable ice packs.

    Honestly ... should we really be trying to put a computer in a lunch box ... how about putting it in a keg. Not only can it serve up your DIVX movie collection, it can provide you an all your guests with your favorite frosty beverage. Again the need for the cooling fan is eliminated by the kegerator.

    Does anyone know where to get a kegerator with RJ45 and Composite/RCA connections?

    There are two ways to get a computer into a lunchbox:

    1. Shrink the mobo
    2. Get a HUGE lunchbox
