Hello All!

I'm in the market for a new, tiny computer.  I'm looking for a small
footprint, silent, and cool-running PC.  I intend to run Cyberia on this same
computer.  I'd like to run some form of linux on it.  I don't need much, just
some robust cpu power and ram capacity, really.  But I'm willing to trade cpu
power for the quiet and cool running.  This is intended to be run in my
office/closet in my bedroom, and it can't make too much noise, or the wife
will complain about it.

One such item I've found is the HP Chrome at Frys:

I'm not familiar with this product; is it meant to just be a streaming device
like a Roku?  Or can it be a full-fledged computer like what I'm looking for? 

Is anybody familiar with this item?  


Next up is the Asus Chrombox-M004U.  It almost sounds like the same kind of
device:

Thoughts on this one?
