To add a context to this machine, the target in mind is a school in Maroantsetra, Madagascar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroantsetra), where we have a local group sending 12 XOs. Mesh under a tree is fine for this setup, but they want to have a schoolserver, and this box came up in the discussions. The guy who will be taking this stuff with him is going to do so in his luggage (http://thoreauscholar.org/student/scholars/golden.html), so we are shooting for small boxes. Amazon's page has no info on the processor, but I found more details here (http://www.fit-pc.com/new/fit-pc-slim-specifications.html).
