Anyone own one of these? Looks like it'd be a nice computer to have just for browsing the web. I'd throw a little extra RAM in it and install Ubuntu.

No, I don't have one nor do I know anyone who does, but...

From my experience at the repair shop I know that such a box would be absolutely perfect for about 75% of PC users.
All they want to do is get on the net anyway, so a simple cheap box that does that is all they need and frankly, can handle.

Now, if this PC was about 1/4 the size, ran embedded Linux and was preconfigured to just hook up to online Google apps it would be almost perfect.
