I bought some thin client pc's a while ago. They're full fledged x86 pc's that can be used as small dos or linux boxes.
The reason why I built is to run 64hdd which is essentially a 1541 emulator. You can stuff the harddisk/cf card with games and load them on your Commodore 64. Before I had this I used a large bulky pc that made a lot of noise. This thing is silent because it is cooled passively.

There is plenty of room in this enclosure for harddrives and that kind of stuff.
