Yes I know this is bump, but the topic was still on the first page of the section.

I've got the same issue. I have one of the Intel Atom Mini-ITX boards. I built an HTPC out of it, but in the long run it just did not have the power to do HD video. I ended up replacing it with a dual core celeron that I got on special at Fry's.

In the mean time I have been trying to figure out what to do it. I've thought about doing the 68k emulator on it, but I really want to use my sheeva plug for that.

If I had some more time, I get a digital I/O card for it and use it for my Mac floppy emulator project. That would solve the problem I had with the Arduino of just not having enough power. Though using a a dual core 1.6GHz system to emulate the floppy drive in a 20MHz computer seems a little silly.

Another thought is to get an LCD screen, a can of beige paint, some lucite, and a Lisa emulator. You could build a KIRF Lisa.

Actually that sounds really cool.
