The Nivo is a new 'ultra thin' client device under development by British, not-for-profit organization Ndiyo. Its principle intended market is developing nations and the project is based upon a non-profit model. The aim of the project is to create hardware and software that can lower both financial and technical skill cost of computer service provision.

Your hardware may be free, but the power it uses is not. Perhaps if this device is everything the developer and the reviewer claim it is, you could begin to replace your old systems as they die off with these boxes. Depending on how much the hardware will sell for, they would probably pay for themselves very soon with the energy saved. Noise and heat would become less of an issue as well.
