Dirt cheap too. Even w/ Fry's specials it would be hard to put
together a comparable machine for that amount.
Given that it has VIA's C7 chip which has extra instructions for
crypto, including SHA1
(http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/padlock/), it should make a nice
venti server--although you would probably need to upgrade the 80 GB
drive... What would be involved in patching Plan 9's libsec to use
the C7's crypto instructions?
