little pc

Came across this in my surfings today:

It looks cute, and it's possibly useful in some situations. But IMHO it's too expensive to really take off (starts at $895 US). Still, it's a neat idea in a geeky kind of way.

That is cool.

Process control

These critters are clearly designed for process control.

BUT and i repeat BUT 900 bucks for a smaller footprint, 4 year old technology and no operating system and no storage media is. How shall I say it?? ALOT LIKE BUYING A USED CAR AT FULL BOAT AND FINDING IT HAS NO AXLES!!!!!!!

You can get decent laptop in the same price rage with modern process speeds.

Compaq makes a basic unit for the network application. Maybe 3 for the same price.

Or build a state of the art kick ass unit for the same price yourself.

If you're looking for a small PC, try the Shuttle XPC boxes (www.shuttle.com / us.shuttle.com). Depending on the model, they retail for about $450-550CAN here.

note: this thing is not actually a "real computer" it merely handles keyboard,mouse,display for a citrix server.

don't have any expectations about loading win2k on it as a standalone box.
