Some of the older systems are cheap, and we dont need buy/build a nice
case and power supply. The box comes in at around $180 for the case,
power supply and motherboard. I dont think we will be able to build an
itx based system for less. These systems are very fast and allows for us
to use any graphics card we want. Just an idea.
It's great, except that socket A cpu's are about to totally disappear
from production. Here are the current AMD roadmaps and status:

Look at socket 754 based systems for a bit more life. Semprons look like
the current bargains.
Any input from AMD on the cpu sweet spots for the next year?
