PC manufactures has already done that. The now discontinued Equium 2000 from toshiba was built with notebook technology. The motherboard, harddisk and cd is built into the stand of the display. It even used the same select bay system as toshibas real notebook Tecra 8000. It was no blockbuster so I guess we windows and Linux users rather buy a cheap square big box than a smaller, designed but expensive computer.
Unfortunately most 20GB harddisks are 9.5 mm high. That size does not fit in a Libretto. They can only use 8.5 mm disks and the largest I have seen is a 6GB.

No you don't need the $250 box. Most 802.11b-cards can do peer-to-peer.
