While out one night with friends
to see a movie, I had some time to kill and MicroCenter was next
door so I walked in to scan. Right in the front of the store
where they normally stack piles of blank CDRs was this little
gem.
I just had to touch it. At $99
bucks what a deal. Pretty nice. This little purple puppy packs
quite a list of goodies, nothing like your power house PCs parts
list mind you, but not bad for a internet surf tool or balancing
the budget with Quicken.
Here's the specs:

Fully compliant Flex ATX specification
Single-fan solution, 2 USB hubs,
2 audio connectors, and audio controls on front bezel
Vertically mounted mobile CD-ROM/DVD

D

SO far I've built 4 of these
puppies. One for my wife, one for me (to store files and stuff)
and two for clients who just love em. I know, it's not the fastest
thing in the world, but it's small semi-fast, does most of what
you need to do and is cheap.
Here are some benchmarks:
Windows XP Home
Bootup time from power off =
38secs
Windows ME
Bootup time from power off =
25secs
Windows 98
