Off of Ebay. Doesn't everyone? :)
The one I mentioned is a Fujitsu A250. I think my purchase was a good
one but how can anyone work out how and why Ebay sellers pitch their
wares. The device works well for me, so I am satisfied.
Dan Ritter has a point though. If I were to buy anything similar now,
I'd consider the Raspberry - although it would mean leaving my comfort
zone of Debian.
Ebay (UK) has the HP T5730 for about 20 GBP. A 1GHz CPU. Not quite up to
processing HD video but a smart machine.
