Interesting, and I would love to play around with a Cr-48 (maybe I'll get one off eBay), but I am so tired of people mis-using the term "brick". Bricking a machine means it is permanently ruined. You cannot turn a brick back into a computer. Thus the term bricked it. If you just need to reinstall the OS, that's not bricked. You just nuked it. It can be rebuilt.
