 Not really. Why not go the whole hog;
    A box with decent 3D that you could play TuxRacer on
    A box with decent audio so you could play CDs of MP3/OGGs
    A box with reasonably CPU so you could watch a DIVX encoded movie on a
        DVD RAM/CDROM
    A box that's got an RJ45 socket & modem, so it's your dial up router
    A box that's solid state so you don't notice if it's left on all the
        time
    A box with a voice modem that can accept voicemails/faxes
    A box with a TV tuner so it's a digital video recorder (spin up the
        hard disk when recording/playing, then turn it off again)

 That's useful. I'd buy that for a euro.
