Sub $200 Linux machine is a sell out

Comments

Great idea

This is an excellent idea, not everyone plays the latest and greatest games or needs 500GB of storage. A great machine if all you need is office and surfing the web etc or would make a great second machine in a home.

If it becomes available in the UK I will be buying one, without a doubt.

cheap just for mobo

here in England you can't even buy a mini itx mobo with C7 for £100, never mind a whole system.

looking at the full spec it should run XP ok (if you have to) you can always stick double the RAM in.

If it ever makes it across the pond i bet it costs £200($400) and then not so attractive

Great news

That's great news, not everyone can afford to spend mega bucks on a machine, and it does the job for web browsing. e-mail and general office work.

@ Andrew - why would you want to spoil this PC by installing XP? Extra ram and a Windows licence isn't going to be that cheap.

I thought these PCs have these MicroATX boards in then: http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/empowered/pc2500_mainboard/index.jsp

I think I might download the OS from here and have a look: http://www.thinkgos.com/
