Ok, I see more unhappy people on that site.

I almost bought from them a while back, but after searching on them, decided against it.

Problem with these machines is that you cant fit a regular size graphics card into them...I'd stay away if your planning on using an ultimarc arcade vga card.

The best place for these type of SFF PC's is ebay - there are many similar ranges (usually available much cheaper) as they tend to be ex-business lines so readily available. Doesn't matter so much about the interior space as normal graphics cards will fit by just removing the shell cover.

I bought one of these, and you can fit a regular graphics card in them, but you cant fit them into a regular case, they mount to a plate that mounts to the case and the case to M/B hookups are propietery as in without the harness I looked for days on the internet to figure out which pins in the 24 pin array was for power, and they are not side beside, they are several pins apart....So unless you like hassels stay away from most of the optiplex line..
