As an individual, especially a "hacker", I have no use for these things. But when I went to my state's Department of Driver Services (DMV) for my license renewal, there were a bunch of Chromeboxes running the check-in process and I saw the light. Single purpose, run the check-in web site, doesn't look like it's worth stealing, when they're obsolete just swap out the box and keep the monitor, mouse and keyboard. Makes perfect sense when you're buying hundreds or more at a time for your institution.
