[Naeem]

check this!

and it runs on cheap mini-itx HW too.

I think any of the cases featured here:-

would be okay.

check out the mobo specs too.  SkyOS suddenly seems more alluring :-)

in answer to connections point...

WiFi!!!

:-)

HiFi kit is already on the ball.  STB are following suit.

You could connect one of these babies up to your printer, your TV / flatscreen LCD, your home hifi.  all with one WIFI card (built-in).

Of course you would have to buy lots of next generation home theater kit, but if you are anything like me you do anyway!

lol!

better yet get it hooked up to a 3G wireless data card :-)


Internet on the move :-)

looks butt ugly man!  though it sounds (doesnt sound ?) like it works a treat.

V. expensive though. I can only imagine they make the chasis out of platinum or something :-)


Or perhaps its laden with heat-conducting gold like the Mclaren F1.

why not give up the chase and get a small form factor Hush PC or something?

[Naeem]

Gotchya.

Personally though I think CPU's are way too fast nowadays.  A Hush PC could handle everything I do on my Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz setup currently.  And it would look cute and not at all out of place next to my Plasma TV.

In fact if anything I would get more use out of it as I would use it as a PVR too, and also the CD / DVD  drive would get a lot more use.  For TV / Video work you dont need a super hot graphics card.

I am intrigued though, what use do you put your beats of a machine to?   3D modelling work?  Any major ass-kick games out there that demand such performance?  That is probably where a HUSH pc would fall over latest games, though it would meet 90% of current games requirements (all need direct X 9.0b + P III 700 MHz +), it wont have much shelf life.

For me I am not too fussed my XBox is about for that kind of nonsense.
