Hi !

It should be running fine for small installations up to 10-15 users. This
way it is a very nice alternative for low-maintenance MiniPCs which cost
up to $800.

Greetings.

Especially interesting in the wake of speculation that xboxes will fall
to $99 by labor day
(http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/28/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.
htm?cnn=yes).

For about $2000 (about the price of my new dual 2GHz Athlon server) I
will be able to fill my closet with a cluster of 20 of them. Cool. I'll
probably try it. But, is this practical? I don't know anything about how
much power they use or heat they produce.

What type of scenario do you see this being practical for?
