They don't get much smaller than this.

There is this one (http://www17.tomshardware.com/howto/02q4/021009/index.html). I saw one listed at newegg too but they didn't have it in stock. There are two things I don't like about it.

1) it uses 2.5" hard drives that are nice and slow
2) no DVI video out

Other than that, I wouldn't mind one of these.

That's too much money for a weak system. That's worth at the most $150.00

Just buy the freakin' $700 laptop from CompUSA.

I'm referring more to the casing/packaging... I don't think they come any more powerful than that - but then again, I don't know what his requirements are for the HW

800MHz Lindows PC from Walmart.com

I have a Sinclair I might sell. It is very small.

It also have a PCI Riser Card so you can use 2 full size PCI Cards like a TV Card and a Firewire Card. Of course it's not a laptop but then it doesn't cost like a laptop.

Yeah, it's not wise to be publicly cheap when it comes to buying your wife her Christmas present

Agreed!
Although it is not that he is super cheap, he just has to think every single thing through before he can commit to make sure he is getting his money worth. I am kinda glad he does this rather than just throwing away money that I could otherwise spend!

I see that Skoorb has yet to understand.


*It's not about what's best, it's about what they want.*

If they like that POS that comes in just the color or style they like and you convince them not to get it, but instead get one that is much better, then everytime something happens that they don't like with the one you forced on them they will make your life a living hell.

*It's not about what's best, it's about what they want.*


BTW-my wife can't make me do anything, but she can certainly make me wish that I had.

 

[Aquaman]

So......... what did you get ............ desktop or laptop

Cheers,
Aquaman
