It's obvious there is a computer inside, I think we all new more or less that it was a standard U1 rackmount...But really, tell us whats inside...I want to know if potentially one could pirate the google search software off that machine and run it on a similar one...
Apple uses the google enterprise for search (as far as I can tell) so if you want to see an example the results you can go there. The nice thing about the mini is that you can return the results as pure XML and style it any way you like. Awesome product at an amazing price. And I got to keep the t-shirt!

I heard they were going to be offering the same deal Apple did with their mini :)

Top marks for the worse designed web-page of all time. Great nerd stuff though.

Awesome...kinda strange it uses a PIII...give it some real balls!

the pIII's are probably used to keep the price point down. Besides, you don't really need "real balls" to do indexing and such.
