I think that's what I was thinking of, at least the case looks like it. I think at one point they marketed these as a "thin client" type of device.
Interesting test (even more off-topic than the rest, but...) With JUST the flash drive, idle OpenBSD power draw was about 21W. With added HD, idle OpenBSD power draw was about 26W With bc soaking all available processor time, power was up to 44W. (and you thought those distributed computing projects were "free"...) (my Wattmeter reads only to the nearest 1W, so all those figures are +/-1W on top of whatever the accuracy of the thing is.)
How's that compare to a Mac 68k? I'm surprised you didn't go with one of those... although I suppose a SCSI flash adapter is hard to find.
