Time for Pi

[Tim Tisdall]

Might I suggest something like this:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MK808B-Dual-Core-Android-4-1-Jelly-Bean-TV-BOX-RK3066-Cortex-A9-1GB-RAM-8GB-ROM-Mini-PC-TV-Box---Black-313213.html

There's a ton of these small stick-like machines out there that primarily
run Android, but there are Linux builds for them as well.  This one is a
dual-core processor.  There's also some quad-core processors out there now.
 This one has built in wifi and bluetooth.
