I found a really cool mini-ITX system complete with DSL (Damn Small Linux) that I'm thinking of using. It is fanless system that I'm going to attach a solid state drive to. No noise. Here's the link: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/store/Mini_ITX_Systems/533MHz_fanless_Mini_ITX_PC I have an old LCD monitor already. It's kind of beat up but still works good. I was planning to rip it apart and build some sort of neat enclosure like a picture frame and put it on the wall and have the small ITX box on the floor behind the couch -- out of sight. It may be overkill but then again so is a cheap laptop that you would have noise and, possibly, overheating issues with. I'd appreciate a template post. I sort of got my prototype to work. Just need some more tweaking of the HTML. The idea of the "Up Next" sounds really cool. I did figure out that the "Contributors" is the Artist. Tried that right after I posted.
