This is neither here nor there, but just out of curiosity, what's the slit in the front of the case above the power button on this svelte beauty? Vent? Attractive design element?

They are ventilation, the case itself is quite stout because it acts as an extension of the heatsink.

If the Damn Small Machine can boot a USB stick, would that work the same with a USB 2.0 2.5" HDD enclosure? I have an enclosure that is powered by the USB port. Will the USB port support that much power? CompactFlash is just NOT enough space to install linux along with all the useful applications. I was thinking about securing a 2.5" USB enclosure with a 40GB or 80GB drive to the side of this case, maybe with Velcro™.

Anyway, just wondering if this particular nanoITX board would support it. Thanks!

I don't have a Damn Small Machine, but if the device supports the USBHDD method of booting, it should also work just fine with a REAL usb hard drive.

Just make sure that your USB hard drive enclosure is controlled by the standard "USB Mass Storage" protocol.

If it can be installed to a Windows 2000/XP computer without the need for special drivers or if it has Mac support it should use the "USB Mass Storage" protocol.

Hello, I had been putting off the idea of ordering a nanoitix. Is it too late for ordering?
