I've been using the Shuttle XPC. This is not a super-small machine, but
it is a full-fledged PC in a small form factor. I've used the SN21G5.
Put in an AMD 4600+ CPU, a couple GB of RAM, configure a couple SATA II
drives into a RAID1 (or RAID0 if you care about speed more than
redundancy), and you've got a fast, quiet machine.
I've installed 64-bit etch without any problems. The machines are net-
bootable, and that's how I've installed the OS. You can supposedly also
boot off a USB stick, or, just install a DVD drive.
> the main consideration is lots of USB
The machine has 4 USB ports built in, and I'm sure you could plug in a
USB hub if you needed more.
I like Shuttle because they've been around for a long time, they have
good AMD support, and I can buy the machines at a my local
electronics/computer superstore.
