The new Raspberry Pi sounds ideal for this sort of thing; 700MHz ARM11 with 128MB RAM, decent GPU with all sorts of media acceleration engines, 1080p and composite video out, USB, SD, for $25, or $35 if you want ethernet and twice as much RAM. Unfortunately the GPU's a Broadcom, so actually getting making *use* of all that hardware may be an issue, which is a shame, as allegedly there's 24GFlops of processing power there. The Pi people say they're working on trying to get access to the proprietary features, but I don't know the details. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "Under communism, man exploits man.
