Zonbu Mini

Before reading this, take a look at the Zonbu Mini.

It's a computer running linux that is totally silent, has no moving parts, and is very very small. It has a four gig internal flash drive for storing the operating system and installed applications, but other than that everything is stored online using the Amazon S3 service.

It would be sweet if this thing can be configured to use a local file server for storage instead of Amazon S3. You could deploy these things to smaller businesses that need a cheap network solution. Oh yeah, cheap because you can get it for just over $100 when you include a subscription to the Amazon S3 service.

I don't have much else to say about this little thing other than I think it's pretty cool and thought other people might find it interesting too.
