OK, well I got a M10000 Mini-ITX for Christmas, which is the 1Ghz model. I have the memory and everything, but in all honesty I just can't think of anything super cool to do with it. I was thinking of either putting it in the car (but I don't feel like buying another power supply, touchscreen, etc) or hooking it up in the home theater for use on the 8ft projection screen. Other than that, I'm completely open to any cool suggestions...what do you think?

That's what I may end up with in the end...but I want to see if there's anything more interesting and original first 😉

I use one as a CarPC, another is on my kitchen counter for when I want to check my mail quickly.

What kind of display do you have on that one in the kitchen? 14" LCD?
 
I think I'll try putting SnapStream or FreeVo or something on it for the access to music and movies from the server...lets see if that works.
 
wireless keyboard and mouse. I have a couple of combo ones laying around but they aren't that nice to use for any period of time.
 
I would figure out a way to mount the mobo/cpu/ram and a HD (probably a 2.5" one) and the receiver for a wireless kb/mouse inside the casing of a nice lcd and mount the whole thing on the wall. Zero form factor PC!

Yeah, I'm waiting for nanoITX boards and I'm going to do it with a 15" LCD.
