For a similar price, but way more horsepower, you can get an MSI Wind PC, powered by the Intel Atom and Intel GMA 950 graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856167032 It's probably on par, speed-wise, with an old PC, but would be much quieter and have a lower power draw, though it'd be bigger and more power-hungry than the itsy fit-pc. --Levi /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
