I agree 100% with mlsstl's comments. Besides Foxconn, Shuttle is another brand of low-cost, compact pc worth looking at if you're willing to do some really minor DIY (eg, installing hard drive and/or memory).
As for the Vortexbox Appliance itself, even if you don't think you'll rip CDs on it, the optical drive only adds around $20-30 to the hardware cost, and zero to the software cost. So you could just ignore it, especially because you could spend a lot more than that if you're looking for a works-out-of-the-box system like VBA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95085 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
