RE: [PCTECH] Small factor desktops

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've a few of the Dell ones ( seen here:
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/optix?c=us&cs=555&;
l=en&s=biz ).  They work fine but are highly proprietary and don't take
standard parts if something breaks.  Also, for a while we had issues
with power supplies.  I guess it's been worked out by now as I haven't
heard of any problems lately.

Why not just get a notebook?  My notebook has everything you mention +
USB, Firewire, floppy, 1GB RAM, video out, dual-monitor support (LCD +
external), etc.

Subject: [PCTECH] Small factor desktops


We have a couple of office users we want to give PCs to, and space is a
factor.  I've seen pictures of PC's where the whole thing (save the
screen) is in the keyboard.  Asus has a series that look like notebooks
but are really 'portable desktops' that take PCMCIA cards, etc.  I'm
looking for fully functional PC's with a DVD/CD combo, network, probably
an LCD for space, etc.  Have any of you tried any of these or similar
animals?

Thanks.
