It should be possible to fit a nice EMC2 computer in about a liter volume, including power supply, CPU, storage, and I/O. A PC-104/Plus motherboard like this (1.4 GHz Pentium M, 1 GB RAM, Ethernet, USB, parport, etc): <http://us.kontron.com/products/boards+and+mezzanines/pc104+sbc+and+peripherals/mops+pc104+cpu+modules/mopspm.html> A PC-104/Plus IO board like the 4i65 or 4i68 (very similar to the 5i20 and 5i23, respectively): <http://www.mesanet.com/parallelcardinfo.html>, about 2/3 of the way down the page All in an extruded enclosure like this: <http://tri-m.com/products/engineering/ct104.html> Cheap? No. Neat?
