Does anyone know where I can get a really small computer, like the size of a cd drive? I want it to just be real basic, like just the bare minimum for running XP. I want everything intigrated like video, audio, LAN, and a cd drive. Is there anything like this?
 
You own't be able to find a computer in the usual sense but I've read about something that sounds perfect (about 5cm cube. and everything integrated, I think it was called the "teacube" but I googled it and came up with nothing so I'll look tonight and see what I can find).
 
I found a few things but none of them have a CD drive (just get an external one)
The closest thing to what you want is the "communicator" or "PIC" http://www.amdboard.com/pic.html The only thing is that it runs windows CE (windows xp with office built in).

Unfortunetly it has a description like "designed for first time technology users" and stuff like that so I would check out what windows CE is first...
On the bright side it is only a tiny bit bigger than a CD drive [size=-1](5.5" wide x 8.5" deep x 2.5" high 3 lbs) and if you get an external cd drive and tape it onto the top of the "PIC" you have a nice computer that is only 5.5"x8.5"x5".

Would there be any possible way to take the hard drive out, then replace it with 1 gig of IDE compact flash, and install Win 98 on it?

Yes you can, although I do not remeber the brand, I will look for it for you.
Onboard everything P3 though.

Possibly, I have only tried installing games on memory sticks. You could try it but I don't know if it would work.
 
He wants some prebuilt ones though. Granted the miniITX boards are pretty cool to do crazy stuff with them.
