I'm still hoping for a return of the thin-client model, but with rich media. 99% of the time my desktop is running at 10% CPU load or less. When I want to do something that requires a lot of processing power, I usually log into a remote server with more than I'd like to stuff into a desktop. However, I do want enough power to watch video occasionally and manage graphical applications (such as simple photo editing) when necessary. A small system would also have the benefit of lower power usage, smaller footprint, and less noise. The major thing that prevents me from switching to a tiny PC in the office is lack of dual-monitor support. Screen real-estate is something I just can't sacrifice. In the long run, I look forward to a silent office instead of the constant noise of fans and hard disks.
