Re: [PLUG] Looking for a mini-PC

Adam,

Check this supplier out. I am somewhat certain they are based in Vermont. The 
machine I purchased from them draws a maximum of 60 watts and cost around 
$300 after I had them add some goodies to it. If you are looking for a 
full-fledged system replacement, my suggestion is to stay away from flash 
modules and stick with spinning disk drives.
