It's the always on router/firewall/dhcp/dns/etc., plugged into the ISP and then providing the house LAN. The box itself, with a 40G IDE 2.5" drive inside, only pulls about 0.5A at 12V, and I have it on a group of lead-acid batteries. I also have a 2T drive plugged in, and that has a tahoe server on a personal grid (which isn't really 'used' yet). The net5501 is a 500 MHz i586-type cpu with 512MB RAM, so it isn't really that tiny, but it's small compared to desktop boxes (and has no video at all - just serial console). For a tahoe node, it seems good - but it's overpowered and more expensive than a sheevaplug with a disk (but net5501 has 4 ethernets). But it's easier for me to deal with.
