If it is anything like the E-machine (the early under $500 computer.) It will have a small proprietary power supply, limited PCI / ISA (?) expansion slots, and watch out for a floppy drive integrated into the front cover (a replacement cost $50, where a generic cost $15.) I bought one a few years back and had no problems, except for limited PCI slots. It still works fine, but I heard many others complain about replacing the power supply (at twice the cost of a normal power supply) and I saw one person pay for a replacement on a floppy drive.

I'm looking at the $228-248 range What is the life of the PC? Will it need to be repaired often? How does the C3 processor compare to a Duron and a Celeron? Can you upgrade the RAM cheaply and easily? Does Lycoris come with Open Office? ^ ^ (*) (*) <= \ / => o o ////////////////////////////? /////////////////////////// \ /////////////////////////// % /////////////////////////// @ /// /////////////// /// \\ | | | // \\ U U U // U U Ben Huot Peasant-Scholar [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
