Default Most Interesting Use of a Dell Mini Yet? - 05-26-2009, 02:58 PM

This is by far the most interesting use of a Dell Mini 9 I have seen yet on the internet!
I spotted the device on Reddit and was pleasantly surprised to see the the computer processing the 1.3 Million dices throws a day was actually a Dell Mini 9. The Mini was nick-named "Yahtzee" in tribute to the popular dice game.

Read more on the Dice-O-Matic hopper and elevator.

If you have any stories about interesting uses of your Dell Mini, do comment!

I submitted this to Slashdot - lots of amusing comments. Typically for /., 95% of the commenters never read the article.
