"Truly a fun little box"

By robtheelder (cnet.com)

Its a perfect very small foot print machine. ... 

Bought one cheap from Dell, invested savings in upgrades. Upgraded CPU to 9500 for $300 at newegg, bought the microPCI video accelerator on ebay for $50, went to 4 gig of RAM for $75 now its a screamer. next is the hard drive from 5400 to SSD
