Mini Hardware solution

[Ðeceased]

heyhey :) well I've been considering hardware for a while now but my main problem atm is space.. not cash or if I rly want to spend money on it :) For me having more then the two monitors I have atm is not an option.. Even the two are a little cramped :S (I live in a box room atm :P )

So I was browsing around a little and came across these little things ^^

7" screen ('http://www.esaw.co.uk/catalog/mini-lcd-monitors/7-inch-monitors/esaw-7-inch-vga-tft-lcd-monitor#Description') and mini PC ('http://www.esaw.co.uk/catalog/mini-computers')

there's even a touchscreen 7" one :) would be rather useful if one were to have to selece something quickly with one clone and then use a mouse repositioning thingy :)

just thought I might point them out in case anyone else was thinking along the same lines :) although I have no idea of cost! I think you have to enquire :S

EDIT: please note this is to run WoW at a bear minimum :P and it may cost and arm and a leg :S

Then there is always the Mac Mini ('http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&node=home/desktop/mac_mini')

Check those out, full mini pcs - 7" screen, work great.. all around $500. Downside is the HDD doesn't have too much space even w/ the 20GB
You could get the 8.9" Widescreen for $550 (20GB HDD)
Or use an External HDD

They work great though and are awesome for small spaces. Have the battery life span of a laptop, sometimes longer for wireless.
+ Solid State HDD :)

I just like those mini-pcs, look nice, compact, work great, and not that expensive.

I think if I do ever invest in something like this I'll go for the separate monitor option :) My plan eventually would be to have the pcs hidden away in a closet or something, fireproofed to avoid something going wrong and with a tiny but effective cooling system :) then a little hole in the wall with 4-5 monitor cables sticking through :)

I'm not convinced it is beefy enough to even run a single WOW, but if you are after small....
