Unwieldy?

Well perhaps a little, but all it needs is a case, and a round tuit.

I did start out with an x86 when Trixbox was the distro-of-choice, but I really could not justify the electricity costs for having it running, albeit headless, (24*7*52)*(4 and counting), coupled with the fact that I'm a bit of a minimalist, and like to pare things down as much as possible, so I wouldn't get nearly as much pleasure from the project if it ran on a PC.
