Well, I really want something to replace my aging PIII (so the PIII can
retire to life at my sisters house and her PII can come and be a server box
for me.  The good things about a mini-ITX is that it's powerful enough
(800mhz or 933Mhz on the new one, 512MB at my spec, about as good as an
equivalent PIII on most benchmarks) to fulfill the PIII's role but small
enough that I can take places (seeing as Monster is still not reliable
enough to work on :( ).

Where did you get your MeshAP box from?  Will it fill this role?
