Re: Cheap small factor computer

I'm looking to gain support for providing passive PoE via these (or one 
of) the ports on these bricks.  These machines look awesome and to keep 
footprint low, hijacking 12-18 volts out of the power supply shouldn't 
be too much of a problem.
i already preordered the simple one, since wireless and usb is built 
into it anyway--
anyone else need support for this type of infrastructure?
