My first was a Chyang Fun in 2003:Funny note: When I did an image search to get the exact model Google gave a suggested related search of Deep Fryer. EDIT: The first truly tiny computers I tinkered with were some Athlon II desktops from Japan. A fellow forum member lived very near the US NEC headquarters and when they pulled out of the US market they sold these thin desktops off literally by the pallet load. I bought several really cheap and tinkered around with them as much as I could, not understanding any Japanese and finding little to no support or drivers for them. Having built a few machines by then I was fascinated by how compactly they had crammed all the same components into a case the size of a thick book. One of them was the shop computer at the bicycle shop and played a continuous loop of "stoke" videos on the big TV screen as well as internet radio over the sound system.
