I heard Tandberg, better known for HIFI etc, made such things for internal use. For many people (me !!;-) such a machine could be perfect. Well, it should have place for the usual mainboards etc, be functional, I wouldnt care where the floppy is, on the side, on the back, cables should be, maybe, on the side, for better accessibility, mainboard at the bottom, the rest, place for HD etc, somewhere together with the not too big monitor parts. Maybe a monitor manufacturer should make such a case, I was thinking of "Phillips Gloelampen"...;-) >> Very, very slick. Components go into "boxes" which attach via >> quick release mechanisms.

There are Linuxlike PCs on the market now, very simple, very cheap, in France. Heiko To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
