FS: Minature Desktop Computer (3.8" High)

lol. They're called "Shuttle PCs" (Shuttle is the company that actually builds that style of unit originally).. The VIA processor is a complete piece of garbage (they are the former Cyrix). The only thing going for them is that they're uber-efficient. They're designed for multimedia use and the whole computer is worth about $300 brand new.

I just had a look at the shuttle PC, and they actually look to be bigger ones I am offering. They look to be Micro-ATX? The one I am offering is Mini-ITX.

They have those too. I just threw one in recycling maybe 3 days ago.

Here is the Intel Core 2 Duo Model, with a much higher spec than the other one.

Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz Processor

2GB of DDR2 System Memory

320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Disk Drive

DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive

6x USB 2.0 Ports

DUAL 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet

3 Audio Ports
Windows XP Home Edition w/Service Pack 2
DVI, VGA and HDMI
Wireless G Mini-PCI Card
Dynatron CPU Fan

PCI TV Tuner w/Remote Control

and it has been priced at $899.99

If you look on nextag.com you'll see that normal people sell the Core 2 Duo with much higher spec between $300 and $500...

Indeed, however, from what I can see that is in a normal size rig. Such as the processor in the one I am selling costs $210 alone as it has a max thermal power of 34w. I am aiming to build tiny desktop computers with little thermal power.

It's not. I saw the little piece of crap at Fry's. The processor is permanently soldered to the board and it has a tiny heatsink on it with a small, maybe 40mm at the most, high speed fan. Like a crappy northbridge cooler.

Antec and other case makers sell nice HTPC cases the size of DVD players that'll fit mATX motherboards with real processors in them.

This VIA crap is a novelty toy. It's meant for cash registers.

By the way, the motherboard/CPU combo was under 100 bucks.

35W TDP, Conroe Core 2 architecture, Intel, $51, 1.8GHz, highly overclockable.

but yeah, the $210 proprietary piece of crap is better.

Those are nice cases, I was going for size, however, ill consider it on the launch of my website.
