Back when I was still in high school, I lusted after a particular subnotebook computer that had just come onto the market. It had a 486BL2-50 processor, a 7.7 inch screen at 640x480, 200 Megabyte hard drive, and 4 megs of ram. $1800. It was a mere 10.1"x7.2"x1.7" and only 4 pounds back in 1994.

It'll be my first 64-bit AMD system when it's done. :) It's quite a cute case, but much larger than the Biostar system I have at work. The plus side is that it has 4 total drive bays. that's 2 more than the other SFF ( Read more... )
