Count me in as another NSLU2 fan. If all you need is a home file server, the NSLU2 is perfect. It consumes very little power and as some have already mentioned, you can turn it into a "slug" and have a mini linux box. I use my slug as a samba server to Windows and a rsync server to Linux (for backups). The slug can also be used for NFS if you need that.
The company I used to work for had a spare laptop with a fax/modem on it. It stored the faxes in a shared directory where everyone could get at them. People deleted the spam and printed the ones they wanted if they actually wanted a printout. We set the fax/modem to answer after fewer rings than the fax machine would, so in case the laptop crashed or something, the fax machine would be the fallback.

I totally agree with this. Video game music makes great coding music.
I'd be interested to see what rating the Prius will have.
