I seem to recall a thread on the list a little while back [Steve
Hodgeman?] where this would be appropriate - low cost, small form factor
PC [200mmx200mm]

A pricing resolves to:

Hope this is useful/interesting...

Has anyone looked at the newish Mini-ITX systems around? These seem to 
follow standards and after adding the cost of a small amount of ram, an 
old hard disk (or maybe a CF card) and a power supply you probably are 
around that $500 limit mentioned above (though with a old disk you 
should be way below).

Does anyone have any thoughts on these systems?
