Re: Mini-ITX, Fanless, 1.2GHz, $65

I had to click "Go Advanced"
W/e

I also seriously wonder why people are freaking out over those new cheap linux boxes (around $250) when you can build something like this for even less & with more power.

I might just buy this as a home server, and hook it up to the bot offseason. I'll post how it goes if I ever do it!

As for my OS question, is it possible?

It should be possible to just have it start up without a window-manager, maybe log in, start up only the serial driver, and execute a compiled C app. Maybe we could make it boot like that in "competition mode" Then maybe if you insert a usb drive with a certain script on it, the machine would boot normally..
