This is Marvell Sheevaplug; a Linux-running PC small enough to be plugged into a regular wall socket while offering a 1.2GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 512MB flash memory for storage and a Gigabit ethernet port + USB 2.0 port for connectivity.
So, just hook it up to the network, connect a hard drive to the USB port and you’ve got a super-silent tiny web or file server you can control over the network, taking up no space at all and consuming less than 5 watts of power (so there’s no need for a clunky power adapter or anything).
