Time permitting, I'll post a picture of the  WebControl (80mm x 85mm x18mm)
in its native steel case (100mm x 100mm x 35mm) stacked on a comparably sized
Netgear GS-105 hub (95 x 100mm x 25mm) and Comtrol Device-Master AIR (92mm x
87mm x 48mm) which provides WI-FI and RS-xxx in a 100mm x 100mm footprint.
This combo allows you to communicate with to a computer, two WebControls and
a serial device such as Peter Anderson's data acquisition modules
www.PHAnderson.com) via WI-FI.

(This matches almost exactly the footprint of a Pico-ITX (100mm x 72mm) with
the inevitable I/O connectors. These PC's are still too pricey,
http://www.logicsupply.com/products/px5000eg but they'll get 'there'
eventually. )
