small form factor computer, bought one today
« on: November 22, 2005, 09:39:59 pm »
 ;D  here is a link to a little computer shop in Akron, ohio.  check out the first page of the website for the 99.00 shipped small form factor pc.  I picked it up for 89.00 (save the shipping)  the little guy is 10" x 9" x 3" 20 gig and 128 ram.  I had an extra 256 and I put it in.  I have loaded a couple of the jukebox pgms tonight and the thing works like a champ.  I have bought odds and end from these guys and they are pretty nice to work with.  And no I am not working for them or know anybody but the guy at the counter.  Just thought it was a nifty thing
cheers

Nice find.  My nephew has been looking for a small PC on the cheap.  This might be just the ticket.  Thanks for posting it.

My pleasure Bumble, reading your post got me started on this juke thing after I finished my arcade setup.  I had an email asking some questions and they seemed important so here is the skinny
There is one slot for ram so when I wrote that I put in 256 it was one stick of ram I had.  Secondly the hard drive is a standard 3.5" desktop type (western Digital in mine).  Lastly mine was as clean as the one in the picture except for what looked like inventory stickers that came right off.
If there are more questions let me know would be happy to take a look again when I get home.

Hey Spocktwin, I took your advice and ordered two of these from this company(mainstream computers). I never received them and they arent returning my emails. Tried calling but there was no answer, now their voicemail appears full.

Is there any way you can check out if they are still there? And if so, would you mind harrassing them until they send my order ;)
