Looking at the novatech site one of the bare bones systems has a ati radeon graphics card, a google on the card finds this page http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/03/08/direction_radeon_graphics_in_ubuntu_1104 now as this mentions DRM i was wondering what this meant in the CONTEXT of a graphics card,. I know DRM usually means Digital rights management, however perhaps in this case it's different
Although the graphics card does support DRM for things like Bluray playback in Windows, it's referring to Direct Rendering Manager...

looking back at Novatech the related PC is here: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/barebones/Novatech/BB-2554GB.html#sp7 for 149 it seems a good deal Paul
Yeah it's okay, depends what you're looking for I guess. I'm looking forward to the new AMD Fusion APUs (which is a CPU and GPU on the same core), although I do hope they make a socketed version so they can be upgraded without having to replace the whole motherboard.
