Anyone know of a tiny computer that can be tucked away that will run Ubuntu/Linux?

Thanks

So long as its not running HD media a Mini-ITX system would be brill, I can't point you to them as the only site I know about them is a major retailer

A Mini-Itx system built around something like the 1GHz VIA C7 Eden processor is both small (17cm x 17cm) and can be run fanless so fairly quiet.

You can also get Core2Duo Mini-Itx motherboards if you need a bit more power

Competitor laptops are pretty cheap. Perfect for running linux.
