[OFB Cafe] To Build a RISC or Atom PC

[Timothy Butler]

Hi everyone,
	I have an itch that I probably won't scratch anytime soon, but I'd  
like to build an appliance like computer. Probably with an ARM  
processor or something similar. Why? Well, I'd like something simple,  
fan-less, low power consumption, but able to run a copy of Linux. I'd  
like to use it to build a custom NAS raid array.

	At that point, all I'd need to do is find a DLNA and iTunes Media  
server for the Linux OS I put in it... perhaps boot Linux off a  
compact flash?

	Thoughts? It's probably not practical, but it just sounds... well, fun.

	-Tim
