Kit,

> Kind of reminds of that brick you guys used to have...

Indeed. I was thinking the same thing. The briQ still exists (from its OEM, 
Total Impact) but has been limited (in my opinion) its keeping up w/the CPU 
performance curve (for HPC). I will assume that if IBM/Apple can eventually 
move a 970-based CPU into a laptop, the mini too could harbor a G5.

In my mind (similar to the Cluster Node vs the Xserve), a stripped-down mini 
(sans CD, video, local drive) w/2 gig-e and shared power would be 
interesting.
