Israeli netTop PC (smaller than CD case footprint) (hd, Linux, Ubuntu)

Smallest full-featured Linux PC ever?

CompuLab introduces fit-PC2 – the smallest, most power-efficient Intel Atom PC to date. fit-PC2 architecture is what sets it apart from other nettop PCs - fit-PC2 is designed around the Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz and the ultra low power Intel US15W system controller hub, rather than the Atom N270 and 945G used in other nettop-PCs, thereby reducing power consumption by more than two thirds.
US15W incorporates hardware video acceleration. This allows fit-PC2 to run Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux at just 6W and to play full HD 1080p H.264 video using less than 7W.

The most striking feature of fit-PC2 is its size - 4" x 4.5" x 1.05" - smaller than a CD ... looks like an appliance, but it's a full PC:

* 1.6GHz x86 CPU
* 1GB RAM
* SATA hard disk
* DVI with graphics acceleration
* High definition audio
* LAN and WLAN
* 6 USB ports

Full HD resolution with HDMI connector, 1080p H.264 decoding, high definition audio, fanless operation for no background noise, tiny size and IR remote control support - fit-PC2 can make a decent home-theater PC. With low cost and low power consumption allowing it to be always-on - fit-PC2 can bring the PC experience into more living rooms than ever before.

I see that it does not appear to have a standard 15-pin VGA connection so you need an LCD monitor with a DVI connection instead.

It's actually an HDMI connection.

You can buy an HDMI-to-VGA adapter.
