I came across this on e-bay
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/thinclients/index_evo.html
and it was intriguing, no fan, small, attractive etc... Its "old" so they're
selling for <$100 on ebay (at least 2 of them are/were).
I assume it boots from the flash memory which can be 32MB, 64MB
or larger. I poked around looking for a way to replace the o/s and while
you probably can do it, I couldn't find any mention of this.
There's a few others (Jammin and LTSP Term) at

I was wondering if anyone has configured something like this as a
front-end. Seems to be a good box for a bedroom/kitchen/etc.
The PVR-USB product could be used as the video source or some
have "PCI Risers" but I suspect that disturbs the sleek appearance :-)
