Mini-PCs running Linux

Seven years ago, with my wife and two friends, we started a project aiming to design a fanless mini-PC running Linux, pre-configured with all software applications that a family could need, including automatized backup. At those times, it was not so easy to put together all required hardware pieces, at an affordable price. We succeeded, but some time later, we decided to stop our project (one day I'll try to find some time to explain why...)

Nowadays, new mini-PCs appear on the market about every month, at incredible prices! I'll use this article to store links to pages describing machines, fanless or not, I find here and there on the web.
