This thing seems like a perfect baseline for a small front-end, if you don't
need a built-in optical drive. 6 7/8" in height, 11 3/8" in length and 7 ½"
in width, supports socket 775 CPUs (Dore 2 duo, Pentium dual core, etc) and
has a PCI slot for all your Nvidia goodness, unless the GMA950 drivers are
mature enough to push HD. Tom's claims that its MSRP is $99 barebones or
$199 with 512MB RAM, 80GB SATA and a Celeron 430, although so far I can't
find one. It has an optional silent power "brick" to cut down on noise, too.
All this and it isn't terrible looking!
