It's a nice box and the size/power/noise levels are all low enough that it
is ideal as an always on light weight home server type device, but its
processor is a little underpowered for (my) desktop needs. Which is why I
was looking for something a little more powerful, while still being
relatively small/low power.
Another possible alternative is to just upgrade to a EEE 901 and plug my
existing 701 into my KVM permanently...
BTW Bob, have you looked carefully at the mouse that came with your MPC-L?
If it is the same as the one I received you may want to throw it out
before it contaminates anything :)
