Re: [LUG] No desk top computer?

Hi Neil,

Not quite what you asked but have you thought about a net-top, such as the Eeebox? - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148886

Much lower power consumption than a desktop, with a VESA mount so it will attach to the back of a TFT flat panel, leaving the desktop totally free for the keyboard and mouse and under desk space totally free for the likes of printers, scanner etc :) Main benefit being in that you don't have to use a smaller laptop screen - if eyesight is a concern, or worry too much about system spec if you use any power hungry programs - also I believe they work quite nicely on Linux. Also £ for £ net-tops are a lot cheaper if budget is an issue - as it is for most people these days.

Kind regards,

Julian

No, I had not thought about that. I will have a look at the web site. Thanks,

Neil
