We got a nice hunk of change in Tax Returns this year. Around 4 grand.
Anyway. I got to use some of that money this weekend. And, I'm already VERY happy with the purchase.

I never really got the point of these mini computers. It can't be all that portable since you need to take a screen with you, don't you?

It's not meant to be portable. It's a compact desktop computer.

And, there's 135GB on this machine, SNES.
1.6 GHZ processor with 1GB of RAM.
It's not too shabby. Especially for the price/size.
Oh yeah. 6 USB Ports total. HDMI and VGA inputs, too.

I can see the convenience in it.

But this annoys me. My family payed near or on 1,000 bucks for a computer back in '05, and it wasn't even as good as this one.

Curse you, technology which develops quickly!

I know, right? That's why I've been waiting as long as possible to repurchase a current generation console.
The longer I wait, the cheaper it's going to be in the long run.

A sizable portion of the reviewers at Best Buy connected this to an HDTV via HDMI, which a nettop such as yours can serve as a small, budget-line media center. Not bad for $200.

I didn't think about that. Sounds pretty damn good for a media center, and with the 6 usb ports, you could add a fair bit of external storage space.

I installed Luna Online (a f2p MMORPG from GPotato) and it ran like a dream.

I still have yet to transfer my RM projects over to the new machine to see how that will run.
But, I'm sure it'll show even better performance than the other tower we have, actually.

Man, what a bargain. What OS does it run? Has it got a CD/DVD drive, or a port for one?

Yeah these shuttles/ mini pcs are pretty cool. Nothing too special. You get what you want with a slim chance for upgrades in the future. however they do take up almost no space on, in, or around your desk though.

They are awesome.

lmao.

There isn't an optical drive. But, with 6 USB Ports, there's plenty of room to plug an external into it, if you really need to.

Ahh, nice and stable. Still supported, and widely acclaimed as better than 7 and Vista. No better choice.

And I think you shoulda got this instead - the Dell Inspiron Zino

Meh. Sure that looks much cooler and all. But, the only difference is that it has an Optical Drive.
They have equivalent processor speeds and RAM.
Mine actually has 2 more USB ports and also HDMI(which that Dell does not), and a better GFX card, so.

I just found this:

http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/desktops/in...s=19&~ck=mn

The entry model on the US Dell site seems to be a deal breaker for $250. The only problem is the machine is preloaded with Vista (and not 7 or XP) thus you would either customize it to at least Windows 7 Home Premium for an additional 30$ or install another OS yourself.

However the Dell Zino listed from the India site should be significantly cheaper.
