A German PC shop is shipping a tiny Geode-based PC available with a 
choice of Linux operating systems.
Concept Distribution's "miniPC" measures 5.5 x 5.1 x 1.4 inches (13 x 14 
x 3.5cm), and is available with thin-client and
general-purpose Linux OSes.

small minicomputer also before-installed operating system Windows XP 
Professional SP2

    * Processor: AMD geode GX2-533 (400 MHz), comparably with 533 MHz 
Pentium
    * 256 MB RAM (not expandable)
    * Non removable disk 80 GB
    * Front side: 2 x USB 1,1, stereo in/out
    * Back side: 2 x USB 1,1, network, 12V, VGA
    * Realtek sound (18-bit full-duplex) ALC203
    * Realtek Ethernet (100 Mbps) RTL8139DL
    * Size: 13x14x3,5cm
    * external mini power pack (like mobile phone-charger)

this extremely currentsaving (approx. 2-6 W), light (550g) PC
Starting from 459,00 EUR

Here is what I think of it
Pros:
+ built-in sound
+ small 13x14x3,5cm
+ lowpower 6W 12V
+ ready to run in enclosure
+reasonably cheap

Cons
- only USB 1,1
- Non removable disk 80GB?
- No tv-out(most lowcost HMDs use video-in not vga)

Is it possible to stand running WinXP on a 400Mhz if one would want to 
dual-boot or is it slow enough to drive you crazy?
