Sub-$100 Linux PC - fanless/mini

[Debaser]

Well actually only $90 when bought in 1000pc. lots. But a single for evaluation is still only $120.

I think its pretty cool. Runs PuppyLinux via Compact Flash. Check it out....

Looks quite nice. It would be ideal for web browsing and basic office tasks.

Shame about the processor speed, bet it would struggle with Amiga emulation :(

Pentium 166 Mhz ??? Looks too slow for Amiga4Ever :lol:

RE: Amiga Emu

Yeah..<sigh> I know, that was the first thought I had too. But then my second thought was...um.. Aros?

I remember playing Amiga games on (Dos)Uae and Fellow on 486 100Mhz. Had some frame skipping and IIRC no audio but it was playable. Fellow was a bit faster then UAE then. So Pentium should work..

With a CPU that old, I would have hoped this would be a sub-$50 machine.

Hopefully the software's efficient enough to mask the CPU...

That is pretty groovy. Shame it doesn't have s-video output, it would be great with a TV to quickly lookup things on the web.
Could be good as an mp3 player with a hi-fi setup though. Taking the mp3s off the network for completely silent operation 8-)
