The 901 was more meant as a joke.

For any stationary hybrid, I would take the B202.

Seriously, why not?

Then I definitely still not getting it fully:) I'm sorry, but what am I missing that makes 901 not applicable comparing to B202 from you point of view?

[901 / B202]

It might even make sense to use a eee PC, like the 901. Built in UPS. Just need to get one with a HDD instead of SDD.

Tnx, makes sense for me. Prices are the same in my region and I will have portable PC with 901.
Can you pls help me with pros/cons of EeePC 901 vs EeeBox B202 (excluding "portability" of 901)?

901 / B202:
Size, weight: almost the same
Heat, noise: both are actively cooled but B202 claimed to be very quiet. What about comparison to 901?
Storage: 12GB SSD / 80GB HDD
Video output: VGA / DVI
Communication:
bluetooth / no BT
LAN 100Mb / 1Gb
WiFi 802.11g / 802.11n
OS: WinXP Pro / Home
UPS: battery / no battery
Other: B202 supports VESA mounting naturally (that is kind of important for me for media centre usage)

What else in general and from linuxmce prospective)?

Hi,

I'm thinking about starting my linuxmce network with a hybrid. One of options is to use B202. Later network will be expanded with dedicated core and multiple MDs. B202 may become one of them.
My tasks for hybrid will be: playing music, playing SD video and rarely HD 720p (SPCR article says it handled 720p for most videos) and also web surfing.
I was not able to find any explicit topic on using B202 as hybrid. It is only mentioned as MD (WiKi, forum).

Could you pls let me know if B202 is capable to work as hybrid for my tasks?
If there will be some kind of limitation of B202/LinuxMCE functionality like "it will fit but without UI2, etc), pls, let me know.
