I don't actually use that for anything, but it only draws 8 watts so I leave it on to make uptime records.

That basically tells you everything you need to know. :p
It's called a dectop; they were made just before netbooks came around. Uses a Geode processor running at 366 mhz and can run windows CE or pretty much any linux. It came with an internal HDD, which I replaced with the flash drive it's running off of -- bonus points for no moving parts.

I could probably think of a dozen uses for one of those. I looked into PC104's way back when - for different automation, inventory control, shipping, and other kinds of (business) applications like that.
The other thing I could think of - is to get a waterproof case for that and put it in the back of a toilet.
Toilet server FTW.

Yeah, I looked into it. Apparently the thing is $99.00 + overpriced shipping?
Their damn store is offline ATM, for "15 minutes" according to the site.
