Low Powered Mini-Server for the Masses

Posted by michael on from the smaller-than-a-breadbox dept.

ServerSam writes "Sudhian has a review up on EmergeCore's "IT in a Box" IT100. Designed for small business use, it comes equipped with a Transmeta Crusoe 533MHz, 128MB RAM, 20GB IBM TravelStar, 802.11b Access Point, and boots from a 32MB Flash card. The IT100 is powered by a 60 watt external PSU and is smaller than a PS2."

      Bah.

      Wait until the nano-itx boards come out. I have a *TINY* pc planned. 1Ghz CPU, DVD and TV tuner included.

      Is that a PC in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

      With a sig like yours I'm surprised anyone would talk to you at all, even if you did have a working mini PC in your pocket.

      I used to have a PS/2 model 80 under my desk at work. IBM thoughfully put a large handle on the top so that when the urge to throw it through the window got too great, you could get a good grip on it.

      Damn thing probably weighed 40 pounds.

      Suppose you go into a store, and ask for a mouse. The guy behind the counter says "USB?", and that's not what you want. What is your response?

      Well, the type of person that would walk past the shelves loaded with mice to ask for a mouse would most likely say, "No, I want a mouse!"
