Re: [PLUG] Looking for a mini-PC

Hey Adam,
   I went with a shuttle for my dvr, but this may be more of a small
PC than a miniPC.  The costs are a bit lower than the miniPCs, mostly
because they take regular desktop parts (3.5 HD, CDRom, etc).

Koolu (http://www.koolu.com) looks more like what I'd need, but I'm hesitant to order from overseas (from the spellings, they appear to be based in the UK).
