You also may want to look at Shuttle's XPC series (http://us.shuttle.com/). They're small form factor machines that are about 6 by 7 by 12 inches. I built one about 2 years ago and its works great. The only drawbacks are they typically only have only 2 slots (AGP/PCE and a PCI). However they have a lot on the motherboard - 2 usb2 ports, 2 firewire 800 ports, video audio, 10/100 network or gigbit networking, and spdif in and out - the last works well if you're building a media center PC. In terms of performance, they run very close to the top of the line Dells etc when fitted with the same components. larry larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156237 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
