well maybe I don't understand why you want a smaller computer.  I
assumed you wanted to have it more portable, more unobtrusive and use
less electricity and be quieter.  

Well, the ultimate way to achieve these goals is to have no computer at
all.  I suggested the ipod connection because (again my assumption) was
that the reason to use slimserver was to stream your own music onto the
squeezebox.  Well an ipod if it could be connected to a squeezebox, can
do the same thing in a much smaller form factor than any computer. 

now that I think about it, I guess you could eliminate the squeezebox
too.  Just connect the ipod to your stereo receiver.

Wow, it just goes to show that the old adage, be careful what you wish
for, it may come true, applies here.  So I guess to stay on track, you
want to get a really little computer to wirelessly stream your own
music to the squeezebox using the slimserver software.  I guess its
kind of like the concept of infinitely smaller, it can always get
smaller, and never disappear entirely.

But, and this is why I mentioned the yamaha ipod accessory, with that
product, you can sit in your chair and use your tv remote to browse
your ipod library on your tv screen, thus the wireless part, which I
analogized to the wireless squeezebox.
