I just built a batch of terminals for ~$225 each. They aren't booksize,
but still small: about 12x14x4 in.
myaopen.com:
Case: H300B, ~$42
augustustech.com:
CPU boxed Celeron 566, ~$42.50
memory micron 128MB: $10.50
centrix-intl.com:
D810EMO motherboard, boxed: $55.00
axiontech.com:
USB keyboard (mitsumi): $15.00
USB mouse (logitech): $10.00
Total: $175; figure $50 shipping: $225.
Notes: the D810EMO is a STEAL at $55 - onboard video, sound & ethernet,
PXE booting; 810E chipset (slightly better than 810 stock). The intel
website says these boards can only take up to 533MHz cpu's, but the
motherboard manual states 600. (and I've been running a 600 for ~1 yr.)
They are 'legacy reduced' - 1 PCI slot, USB & _NO_ ps/2 ports, 1 DIMM
slot.
For a complete (sans monitor) terminal, I've never seen better bang for
my buck.
regards,
David
