Hi,

Just wondered if anyone had ever thought to stack some of these up into a cluster?

You may have already read on the web of the project with 4 XBOX's runing as a Linux cluster. Xbox's sell for maybe £50 now but the Capios go for a lot less than that. This may be a cheap way to build a modest cluster. Add some USB hard disk storage and you could have an interesting project there that won't break the bank.

I do not hink they have much power, but I believe it could be done.

Here's an interesting Linux BIOS project which would be useful for running cluster systems
linuxbios

Ok the Capio is low on power but would be a very inexpensive way of experimenting with clusters, could be a fun project.

Maybe another interesting use could be to drive a digital photo frame, something I was thinking of trying with a cheap 15" LCD monitor

Hi,

A friendly guy on ebay gave me the Capio Windows CE pwd
password = quality

If you hit F2 you can enter this pwd and get into the WinCE settings. Can't do much there though so changing to DSL still looks to be the better option. Unless you run Citrix Server over your network.

Bye,
Deedub
