i know that the mini-itx line comes with a fan and there are higher models that have no fan whatsoever.. thats what we are getting fanless with a small heatsink. i hope to get the funding within this month or if anyone has a hookup were looking at the epia 5000 ill link yall http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_mini_itx_spec.jsp?motherboardId=21 its a pretty good piece of hardware. comes with ethernet we plan to use usb wireless and usb bluetooth since it would have a smaller design. (tape it down to the top of the box) so if any of you guys have parts or people who can get the parts cheaper than msrp it would be most appreciated if you guys could hook it up. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

it would be even smaller if we could get a nano itx board by via its like half the size and probably twice the price! but whatever we can afford at this point is good. if we can make this into a successful appliance and pitch it to some investors i can retire early :) but really its for my motorcycle.. i want to listen to music and answer phone calls in my helmet without taking it off. i am teh lazyness. plus its kinda dangerous to juggle so many things while riding a bike. -------Original Message------- > From: John Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] embedded linux media appliance > Sent: Jul 06 2004 13:36:52 > > Very good point.

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A recent article on Core 2: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/06/24/1638255 It looks like a lot of work. Tim, is this article a fair description? My little brother's Core 1 had a lot going for it and looked like it was worth the effort. It had working usb hotplug so all his camera applications worked for every user. He also had working DVD playback through gratuitous use of non free software. Gnome, after his tweaks, was enviably beautiful. Core 2 might be there by now stability wise, and should have lots of nice improvements. Core 1 was a very nice desktop for him.
