http://www.cybernetman.comhi, the background to my question, is that i find myself going to various places to give lectures, and i need to be able to run a linux environment with a given configuration. too often i have to rely on other people bringing their laptops (and i personally hate laptops).then i thought that there should be no problem putting an entire PC in a very very small box (by small i mean something like a 1-2 cigarette packs in size, and a few hundread grams in weight). i don't need it to have an internal batery, but it should be easy to attach a power supply. it does not need too much cooling, since it'll be turned on for a few hours at a time, and be off most of the time. it does need to have a connector for a PS/2 keyboard, a PS/2 mouse, and 2-4 USB entries (one for a disk-on-key, 2 for USB mouse/keyboard) and a monitor output. having a sound-card + earphones outlet would be nice too. i started scanning the web, and i saw small things that were yet too large, or small PDAs that seem to be too limited (e.g. i want this system to have a laptop-size hard-disk, so i can install a real system on it). does anyone know if there are such things for sale, either in israel or via the internet? i imagine such a thing might cost several hundreads of dollars, and i'd rather buy something pre-built, then build my own - since it should be able to sustain movement shocks (after all, i'll be taking it in a car and drive with it all around, so i don't want to have loose wires due to a bump on the road, etc). thanks, all you ask for in 400$ |
