I quite like the units from mini-box.com. They are nice and small enough to hang on the back of the computer monitor. They make an excellent all-in-one computer running Linux.

The boogieman does not allow these to exist. Ask Homer: there is no choice
but to get Windows with a PC (even though mine did not come with it... but
Homer is just an ignorant fool).

My first thought was; "Please engage the brain, before putting fingers into gear." Then it occurred to me that the Cult-Masters of the Microsoft ensure that you remain ignorant. You are to be excused, you are living in the Digital Dark Ages.
There is however a standard way of hanging a computer on the back of a monitor.

Great! So show us a video of you using this new-fangled wireless technology with your "Linux monkey on the back of monitor".
Or slink away like all liars do when asked for proof of their stupid claims.
Here's what you have:
Cable 1: system to monitor
Cable 2: system to keyboard
Cable 3: system to optical drive
Cable 4: system to speakers
Cable 5: external power supply to system
What a mess. A real all-in-one system generally has only 1 cable: system to keyboard.

More likely two: an AIO needs power too.
Nevertheless, I'd be more interested to hear about Ian's supposed
wireless system...particularly how the display is receiving a wireless
signal. I wouldn't mind considering that as a solution for one of my
systems.

Truth or not, there's no substantiation forthcoming, so the claim(s)
aren't really worth paying much attention to.

With iMacs, that is all that is needed. Wireless Internet and input devices
are included. While it is suggested and common to have external drives and
other stuff, often people have a power cable and *nothing* else connected to
their iMac.
I am not one of those people. :) I have a wired keyboard (with an attached
wired mouse), two external drives, an external monitor, a fax modem
(non-Apple... they no longer support theirs... stupid), a USB headset,
speakers, an "internal" driver reader (plug and play device to read "naked"
drives), a wired network connection... hmm.... I think that pretty much
covers it. :)

We ship under Linux, RTLinux, VxWorks and test under x86 Linux and Windows. We support both big-endian and little-endian processors. We cannot afford to be lazy like most Windows programmers.
I see however that you are still trying for the position of Village Idiot. I would give up, if I were you. DFS has a firm grip on that job.

You really should get out of the computer dark ages.
There is a power cable to the monitor.
A low voltage cable to the PC.
A short HDMI cable for audio and video between the PC and the monitor. This is not even noticeable.
Wireless Keyboard
Wireless Mouse
With this configuration, I can turn off the monitor, while the computer is doing some heavy processing over night.
We do a lot of travelling and take our video camera everywhere with us. Linux has some brilliant tools for video processing and the creation of video files, which we can then send to our friends.

Again, you don't have an F***ing clue. You are so blinded by your cult masters, that you don't see what is happening in the world. Just be thankful that we take our work seriously, so that the systems on which you really rely work reliably.

Windows PCs and/or Windows apps do ALL those things, and much much more.
(note: are you really so ignorant as to think scheduling algorithms can't be encapsulated in VB (let alone C\C++\C#\Java\python etc) and run on a low-powered Windows PC to keep track of many thousands of vehicles?)
4) nuclear reactor and industrial control software:
6) who knows what a clown like you means when you say 'detect if you are sick', but there are a shitload of medical and dental apps for Windows, plus there are healthcare devices and monitoring systems running Windows and Windows Embedded.
I took these pics a couple nights ago off my TV. They're from a Siemens ad that shows them bringing some kind of new industrial plant online. The ad mentioned 'gas turbine' near the end. They showed only 2 pics of computer screens:
Rack PCs: 64-bit Win 7 and/or Win Server 2008 R2
Box PCs: XP, Win7, or Win Embedded
Panel PCs: XP and Win Embedded
RTOS - RMOS3: GNU tools, hosted on Windows only
You're a fucking idiot to ignore 20 years of worldwide development of tens of thousands of Windows apps, across every country and industry and company in the developed world. In other words, you're a Linux "advocate" - the most contemptible, deluded assholes in all of IT.

Why is it not enough for these idiots to advocate Linux for its

do. And yet turd takes this as "shilling Windows" all the while HE posts

And I appreciate your willingness to take undeserved heat from these idiots and stand by your position: previous Windows developer who now uses only Linux but recognizes the reality that Windows works very well for most users and developers.
