I&#8217;d like to replace it with a standalone LCD and a cheap, quiet, low-power CPU with just one or two gigabytes of storage for the operating system (music and other data are stored on a server in the basement). Can someone point me in the right direction? This is an instance where Google doesn&#8217;t provide an obvious leading\/consensus solution. Most searches for solid state computers point to laptops, which isn&#8217;t what I want. The closest thing I&#8217;ve found is the <a href=\"http:\/\/zonbu.com\/device\/\">Zonbox<\/a>, but I&#8217;m not interested in their network\/subscription storage model. Ideal specs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total cost less than $300 (preferably less than $200)<\/li>\n<li>High-end Pentium III or lower-end Pentium IV, or equivalent. Should be able to play ogg files and browse today&#8217;s overactive websites at the same time without user latency. No need to support graphics-intensive applications like gaming or video editing.<\/li>\n<li>Built-in wireless networking. Support for a PCMCIA wireless card would also be acceptable. Most data will be accessed via an NFS share on the WAN.<\/li>\n<li>1GB or 2GB of Flash memory for storage.<\/li>\n<li>Standard VGA out, preferably at least 1280&#215;1024 (although 1024&#215;768 would be okay).<\/li>\n<li>USB ports for keyboard, mouse, possibly external hard drive storage when needed.<\/li>\n<li>Painless Debian\/Ubuntu installation, including out-of-the-box suspend\/resume functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear LazyWeb: Our kitchen laptop is on its last legs.
