On a related note, VIA makes small motherboards with embedded CPU's. They're not as cheap, but they act more like "real" pc hardware, are i386/686 compatible and use very little power. I've run a fan-less EPIA board at home for a couple of years, and it's nice. Took some time to find the right board though.. http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/boards/ http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/boards/
