You’ll need your own monitor, keyboard, mouse and wired ethernet access but for a PC that fits in your hand the eBox-3800SL is a cool (fanless) thin client computer. Based on the VIA Eden Nano 800 MHz processor with integrated VIA graphics, the Nano sports 256 MB of RAM, 2 USB ports and a 5 second quick-boot BIOS. The lack of WiFi limits its mobility to some degree but all in all the eBox can be a nice solution for IT support personnel and others who need a CPU core to carry from one location to another.

I’m confused as to why bother having separate PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections when you could just have another USB or two (far more useful) or squish a tiny wi-fi adapter in there.

It’s probably because the Via chip and bios doesn’t know how to interpret a USB mouse and keyboard connected via USB at boot.
