The NSLU2 is a NAS (network attached storage) interface for USB disks. It's actually a minuscule computer that runs on an ARM-compatible 266MHz Intel processor, and has 32MB of RAM.
The nice thing is: it can do way more than make disks available on a network, because it can run Debian. Since it has very low power consumption and is fanless, it's optimal for tasks that require little computing power, but need the computer to be on all the time.
It's cheap, so I'm planning to get at least one, to use as a web server and torrent machine. Anyone with experiences to share?
