 Send to email | Review of Small Form Factor PC in General |  By Nerdblog
el 02-Jun-2008 | Todd Weiss, of Computerworld, has a nice review of Make: Books’ Small Form factor PC, recently released at Maker Faire:
The idea is to build around a mini-ATX motherboard, which can be fit inside small containers due to its miniaturized size, giving lots of flexibility for a wide variety of innovative cases. Were you envious of Secret Agent Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone in the old 1960s TV show, “Get Smart?” Maybe you could one up him and find a way to build a shoe PC? Hey, somebody’s going to try it, I bet.
This book shows readers how to build several small form factor PC projects, from a digital audio jukebox in an old wooden antique radio cabinet running Gentoo Linux to a mini digital video recorder, a mini home network gateway, a Wi-Fi extender and more.
Forget shoe phones — how about a shoe PC?

With thorough illustrations and step-by-step instructions, this book makes it easy for anyone who wants to get started building these tiny systems.

| Nokia Nixes N93 Form Factor, For Now |  Of all Nseries handsets that Nokia has issued over the years, the N90 / N92 / N93 / N93i have what is by far the most unique form factor. Is it a phone? Is it a digital camcorder? Is it a messenger? Yes, yes and yes.

| Shuttle D10, desktop with a built-in monitor, launches in Japan |  Known for their unique small form factor case designs, Shuttle is launching their Shuttle D10 desktop PC this week. The incorporation of a 7 inch LCD screen with an 800×480 resolution into the case makes it look like it is fresh out of a modder’s basement. Way cool. Not too shabby on specs either, as the D10 [...]
