Modular PC Downsizes the Computer

I have my office computer, my office laptop, my home computer, my home office computer, and my personal laptop. This is necessary because it's simply not convenient to carry computers around and my iPaq needs a base computer to sync with. Here's a better idea: a fully functioning Windows XP computer the size of a paperback. With wireless internet and network access. That I can simply plug into whatever monitor (etc) happens to be kicking around. Oh yeah, and the cost: about $US 1000. Now if only I could get the Linux version so I don't have to spend the same amount again in software (nobody writes about how much pre-installed software costs and about how cheap retail computers would be were it not for the software costs).
