Wall socket PC - oh, too cool!


Brit PC maker Jade Integration is unveiling it's new Jack PC. This is a PC small enough to be installed in your wall in place of a normal power/phone outlet.

The chip, motherboard, and all the related goodies are packed into the base of the thing, it draws it's power from the Ethernet connection to your network, and its face plate (the part that protrudes from the wall) contains all of your connections - USB, monitor, sound, 5v power, etc.

Announced price is 209 GBP (around $390 US), excluding monitor, keyboard, and all other peripherals.

Obviously, you're not going to run AutoCAD on this thing, but if all you're doing is Web-based apps, this is super-cool!
