    ok, im sure u all look regularly anyway... but check out mini-itx.com, specificaly the Gumstix PC and the T-Cube

    Makes me wonder the possible potential for one of these mp3 players... i mean, they must have a CPU, and after the hillarity of buying a 4gb MuVo and just butchering it for the 4gb MicroDrive (MUCH less than actualy buying the microDrive!) recon we could do something with the remaining 'power' that there is? Would put the Linux-on-a-XBox hackers to shame!! LOL

    haha t-cube rules :p

    who amungst us doesnt want a t-cube. It just seems reallly hard for the avg home person to make something like that. yet i guess once thats built software would be easy right? some embedded linux OS and your rolling. Yet with a computer that small you really cant do anything with it, i wouldnt imagine a HDD would fit nicly in there! and the flash memory thing well, thats damn expensive is it not.

    well it sure is a cool toy, but thats about it, but then im not really all that creative!

    It doesn't use Linux, it uses an OS called.... T-Engine :rolleyes:

    The new 1.5" HDD's would fit in there quite easily.
