Or for $100 to $150 more I can get a Mac Mini which also comes with a better OS. application software, and strong tech support. I would get the Nettop for entertainment/tinkering, but not if I wanted a useful computer. Note the buyers comments that speak positively about the box, but then mention that it arrived with various broken parts.

I already have a monitor and keyboard/mouse so I won't have to buy those. Granted, I won't be doing any graphic editing or heavy graphical game playing on it. Otherwise, I think I might order this setup and try Fedora 11 on it. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Quoting Paul Cannon : MSI Wind Nettop 100 Intel 945GC 1 x 200Pin Intel GMA 950 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System [. . .] so for around 300$ can get a dual core Linux system to tinker with.

Otherwise, I think I might order this setup and try Fedora 11 on it. And there a number of sites that will show you how to run OSX on it. Y'know, if you want to. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
