From SilentPC

No, it's not a Mac Mini. It's AOpen's new Pentium-M based Mac Mini lookalike, codenamed Pandora. Unveiled at Computex 2005, this tiny product is yet another AOpen effort to take advantage of the powerful formerly mobile Intel CPU in the desktop space. A fully integrated system incorporating wireless LAN, the Pandora was brought to prototype form in just a month, according to Joseph Hsu, a Technical Manager at AOpen. It uses a single blower fan that turns on only when needed. The aluminum casing was warm but the fan was not running when these photos were taken in the hot tradeshow room. A pearl white enamel painted version was also shown at AOpen's private suite display. Look for a Sept market release date.

If it cost something like $200 I would pick one up. It would make a great Linux box.

Why is it that every crap computer would make a "great Linux box"?

Seriously tho... If I wanted a server, that box would suck. It would be much better as a workstation for a heavy duty developer like myself either. Maybe as a dork around toy Linux box it would be "great", but not much more.
