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."

    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".

    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

    He opted for #2.
