We have used some cheap Dell "off the lease" workstations and the performace on them is great. The last 3 I got had no cd drives, but had 128 meg ram,10 gig hd and 667 mhz processors. These boxes absolutely fly on ltsp. The ones I got with no cd drive where $280 a piece. If you get the SmallFormFactor (sff) you have small cases. You can check them out at dfsdirectsales.com
PS I have no connections with Dell, just like what I find off of there lease computers. -- respectfully, Joseph > On Fri, 13 Dec 2002 23:19:56 -0800, John N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> know that certain subscribers to this list distrust tigerdirect.com >> but >> take a look at this >> >> >http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=h27-1176%20p&SRCCODE=WEM39300 > > Well, this NO endorsement...I've not installed one of these > anywhere, but the machines at my last job were of this family > (though 486's) were Optiplex'es.
