Mini PC based on AMD Geode

For those who think mini-ITX is as small as it gets, take a look at the Fit-PC. This brand has built a computer in an extremely tiny case. The system has dimensions of 10 x 11 x 3 centimeter and weighs a mere 380 grams. It has all functionalities required to run an operating system like Windows XP or Linux.

The device is powered by a 500MHz AMD Geode processor, linked to a CS5536 chipset with integrated video capability. It has 512MB of RAM and the videochip supports resolutions of up to 1920x1440 pixels, which is enough to power a 24 inch TFT screen and even Full-HD televisions.

The case has room for a 2.5" hard disk and the option to add another one via USB. This makes the computer suitable as webserver or mediaplayer.
