I ordered three computers for The Commonspace today. (Well, parts for three computers — I've got to put them together when they get here. If anybody is up for helping with that, let me know. I could also use some help configuring the webcam.) The total cost, including shipping and the webcam, was $2,268.14.
The interesting/weird thing about these machines is that they won't have hard drives. Instead, they'll run Morphix off a CD. Oh yeah, and the cases have colored bubble lights. Tacky, yet cool!
Here's the parts list:
PCChips M811LU Motherboard
AMD Duron 1.8GHz Processor
SPEEZE 60mm CPU Cooler for Socket A/370
eVGA nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X Video Card
