Good computers


I'm looking for a company that makes thin/little computers. I want it to have a cd-rw and floppy drive. No harddrive. The ports it must have are: PS/2 for mouse and keybaord, monitor port, 10/100mbps LAN, Sound out, and probably some USB ports. I would like to buy 8 of these for a school LTSP

Have you checked Newegg? I think they carry those mini-gamer cases. You could easily built something like that on the cheap.

You might want to check TigerDirect. I think they have some mini bare-bones systems that would make a good starting point.

Good luck to you! That's a pretty ambitious project for someone your age. When I was 12 I was still hacking QBASIC adventure games on MS-DOS 5.0
