- Bedside radio / alarm clock
- System monitor - nagios / opsview
- VOIP client - with suitable USB headset or bluetooth
- Electrical use graph (connected to a Current Cost perhaps via USB to Serial)
- Photo/video frame using smb/nfs to see photos/videos held on central storage

- This has been achieved by one user who replaced the CD player in a Mazda MX-5 mkIII.
