Another alternative that I have had some experience with is Aopen's Mini PC MP945-VX. I've got 4 of these systems running with almost excellent reliability. The systems I built had Intel dual core CPUs, 120 GB SATA 2.5 inch hard drives and 1 GB of RAM. After two years one system lost it's hard drive which I was able to RMA to Seagate and replace. The systems run quite cool and have plenty of punch. The systems I installed also had blue tooth/802.11b/g adapters. Another alternative of course is Apple's Mac Mini running Windows. -Alex _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
