I'm going to have to run this by Ladybuggy to see if she likes it as a quieter replacement for her SFF

 

[jjmIII]

I :heart: SSF's.
This just makes me wanna built another...

Socket A... hmm guess u found me a new home for one of my old athlon XPs

Cool! Finaly a replacement for my Cap cancer victim Jetway MiniQ. I hope it works with my mobile AXP.

 

[THRILLHOv]

think i can throw in a WinTV PVR 150 (pci tv card) in there... it looks like there is a pci slot, but dunno if it will fit in there. and the power supply...

Out of stock...

 

[CupCak3]

OOS

 

[THRILLHOv]

well i guess that makes up my mind.... but if you look at the epox site OP posted, the MSRP is only $115... so maybe this isnt such an unusual price... but still a good deal.

 

[aimanzym]

out of stock. =.=|

 

[JEKYLL]

Back in stock as of 325PM est. Also Epox has them for $114.99, but not sure what shipping is.

There is also an ebay seller, 89+20 shipping, but happens to be local to me (Irvine Cal) with a $10 pickup option (same tax as newegg my guess).

This does look hot to me, plays DVD and MP3 without booting to windows, nice LCD, low power and low noise, but I am wondering if it will do the full set of Slingbox/media HTPC type stuff I have in mind? I am going to look on AVSforum HTPC section and start a thread if one isn't there already.

drat. if only this thing was socket 939! then i could throw my A64 3200+ in it!

 

[THRILLHOv]

yeah the killer for me is the ddr ram... i have soooo much SD ram lying around.
any good deals on 512 out there?

Consensus when I asked on the AVSforum is that no practical expansion is the killer, it needs a low profile PCI card and thats about nothing good. If it does what you need as it sits, then you are golden except for a few gripes about the memory it uses.

FYI, Shuttle has a high-rated socket 754 cube for $150 at newegg (SK21), +$40 but a little more expandable (1- AGP + 1- PCI) and takes a more modern CPU.

Asus and MSI also have some decent sort-of-SFF thin desktop and micro tower barebones that are cheap.

Low profile? It seems to use full size cards.

i have an extra sempron 2400, but should i even bother....

 

[JEKYLL]

Mine arrives friday, will let all know how it goes.....

L8TR - JEK

 

[mikeford]

Please do report back, info is rather thin on this model, lots of gloss, little hard info.

Not a total show stopper, but the specifications at NewEgg's site indicates that the PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports are on the front and not the rear of the case. I use a PS/2 KVM with some of my home systems, so this is a negative for me.
