Looking for a Mini PC

[carnagerpm]

I'm new here and wanted to say i like the forums...about of smart helpful people around here.

Anyhow i'm looking for a mini PC some thing like the Shuttle X100
Around $500 CD drive Networking card and XP. Any one know where I can buy one?
Its just going to be used to get e-mail and network view CCTV cameras, so no special hardware is needed.
PS: if some one can even build 2 like today no keyboard that would be dam cool but I think cause of my timeline it would be better for me to order one.


Thanks

Yea, the Dell vostro 200 will fit the bill, small core 2 duo, and a 19" screen for $399.

I can build em, and put a private auction up one Ebay for ya. Can get whatever ya want parts wise from newegg and overnight them. Takes about 30mins to assemble and 10 hours to test before shipping. 3 year warranty available.

A custom build looks better and has better options. The one you listed doesn't even come with a optical drive. Look at these cases:

Another option if to want 2 ore more PC's would be to have 1 badazz custom built rig made with lots of ram 4-8g and a quad core cpu "overclocked" and if you have somewhere to put the pc out of site, you could get 2 of these:
