Stupid Question... what's an SFF?

[Jax Omen]

It's in the forum name... and I dunno what it is.

Also, while I'm on the subject, what's a "barebones" PC? Just a mobo/cpu/ram?

SFF = Small Form Factor

Barebones = basically it means "not a complete system" if you go to newegg, it generally a case and motherboard. Shuttle and Asus and others make them.

Small Form Factor is correct. What is that? Simply a name applied to those small size computers shaped like a cube or a small box. The Dell Vostro 200 SFF is a good example.

i would not consider a vostro a sff by any means. its too big

LoL!

Another stupid question...

121 posts in 20 days - do you guys really think the OP cares?

He's obviously just trying to build up his post count...

Nonsense. I'm just bored at work.

I know...

I'm just pulling his leg!

That's what 'smilies' are all about, you know?

 

[Jax Omen]

Seems awfully hostile for someone who's just "pulling my leg".

Unfortunately, it's hard to communicate sarcasm in text, regardless of smileys.

 

[VinDSL]

You said it best...

Yeah, but to be fair, part of why I can't catch a break is that nobody knows me and I tend to post as if people do.

Did you get your questions answered satisfactorily?

This is more relevant to what Vin has been saying, but I guess what gets me is when people ask questions that can EASILY be answered by typing a few words in google or wikipedia.
