Anyone know if SETI, or any other distributed network client, runs on the Dreamcast? At $50, this makes for a fairly cheap client. You could build a whole farm of these!
The specs looked great, except for the 1024x768 resolution and this little gem: "Weight ~3.3kg (w/ 15" LCD, 9.5mm HDD, 24X CD-ROM and 9 cells Li-Ion battery pack)".

I'm just about to order 3 of these babies... Just have one or two questions...:-) Can we add any software? i.e. Something to do IMAP and maybe SETI? Since there's no local storage, can we mount file systems (NFS and/or SMB)? Thanks.
I have to add that the selection of the track is very important. It should be a very clean track without any background noise. I've noticed that compressing some older, not so clean tracks, actually improves them by removing some of this background noise.
I've been using MP3s for a while now, and even built my own MP3 player. I chose the CMedia CM8738 sound card which provides optical input/output to my Sony ES receiver. I'm using Mission 703 speakers which are ok. I hope to upgrade to B&W speakers next year. Anyway, long story short, I can definately tell the difference between 192, 256, and 320 kbps encoding. I have about 65GB of MP3s, all in 320 kbps. I would use higher kbps values if I could. I even thought of using WAV files instead, but disk space isn't that cheap yet. I _am_ planning to setup a 4x 100GB RAID5 file server, so I might switch to WAV at that time.

At 7.3 LBS, it's just short of a desktop.
