Re: [PLUG] buying a new machine...

[Jim Foster <jif@computer.org>]

We just built two of these Shuttle machines, one AMD 1800+ and one P4 
1.8.  The P4 went out into the field yesterday and I'll be getting the AMD 
box next week.

I think my users are going to LOVE these machines.  They are cute as hell 
and super quiet because of the liquid cooling.  I'll know more next week 
after I've had a chance to bang on it for a while.

Shuttle just released a new version of the P4 box that has 1 PCI & 1 AGP 
slot instead of 2 PCI slots.  This version also has the liquid CPU cooler 
just like the AMD.  I think I'm going to be ordering these new P4s from now on.

We're running WinXP Pro on the boxes so I can't comment on the Linux 
ability of the machines.
