Source for cheap and extremely small form factor computers
« on: October 28, 2007, 11:27:35 pm »

I think some of you may find these very interesting.  They are not for everyone/everything.

http://www.norhtec.com/products/index.html

but this thing is only $120


but only 200Mhz... based on the SIS550... the evolution of the Rise MP6 CPU (as used in the Megatouch systems)

they have a 300MHz 486SX in that form factor as well .. :)
$85

a 500MHz AMD Geode for $250

and a VIA Eden ESP 1GHz and a 1.6GHz something or other for $500

interesting...

claims to be linux & windows compatible :)

Wow, very interesting... Seems they only sell direct? Anyone seen a review of one of their boxes?

I want to know where they got those cases from. I've got a few mini-itx machines that I would love to stick on the back of my lcd monitors.

I have a Kohjinsha laptop with a Geode 800Mhz processor. It can do Mame without problems. I'm defintely going to look into this for a mini bartop system.

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
