Space cube? Yeap it’s a Rubik’s Cube just off the moon’s orbit.. No, hang on, it’s really a tiny PC. I believe it first arrived out of Asia from a Japanese company about 6 months ago or so. Spectacular in the fact of it’s tiny just-over-2-inches form factor that it sports. But also, I got thinking that using it as a PC would be such a waste of it’s tiny size. Ideas I’ve had (so far):

A small email server, for dealing everyone - via linux - their daily dose of spam!

A firewall. Again a great use of linux if you have a limited spec device.

The ideal solution for a print-server if you have a printer that only has a USB port.

An entry level PC for the in-laws, that perhaps live down a well without a lot of space..

OK, maybe I’m being stupid now. But I reckon there are so many places for such a small PC (perhaps hiding inside a door entry system, verifying biometrics or something?) that just using it as a “PC” seems a bit of a waste. Who has more ideas for this tiny marvel??
