Apr 10th 2008 7:00PM I have a desire for a huge cellphone that doesn't make calls and a laptop that you can't put on your lap. I need this.
Shuttle's Linux-based KPC desktop gets reviewed {Engadget}
Mar 25th 2008 2:24AM It does contain one IDE port, An Athlon based system would be half the value, and it will never be a gaming box, the chipset supports pci-e in x1 and x16 but sadly the only slot is pci (brilliant). I did put an ATI HD2400 pci video card in though, just to be a objectionable to common sense and it actually made it a really nice media box. Don't forget you can still drop a Core 2 Duo into it and still be way below the average power consumption of a full sized box.

Mar 24th 2008 10:07PM I got one of the first units from newegg when it was still $199, it seems they are taking advantage of the popularity as it's price changed a few times over the day, topping out at $229. BAD NEWEGG.
I can't complain, it's a nice case, nice mobo, Celeron-L based on the Conroe core. The listed sata150 drive is really a sataII with a jumper on it (yank that sucker off, get full speed). They use Crucial memory, which I upgraded to 2gb right away. It doesn't have the heat pipe which kind of sucks seeing as they tout it as a feature of the system, apparently that comes with the barebones or as a feature for resellers.
Overall I've tried the installed Foresight Linux (Sucktastic rehash of Ubuntu with it's balls cut off) and XP SP3, with both running as well as the 3.2ghz P4 Prescott that the KPC is sitting on top of at the moment. Seeing as this supports any CPU from a 1.6ghz Celeron-L all the way up to the new Wolfdales, you have some room to breathe in the future with this lil cutie.
