I remember a link to a web-site selling small format computers, which looked something similar to the case here:

http://www.evesham.com/PCInfo.asp?e=83557335-02EC-43DC-A30A-A2CCEB34BE1C

but cheaper/kit form. Does anyone know what I am on about/have the link.

Cheers

Chris

I think some people have used http://www.gemma.co.uk before as they used to be about the cheapest.

I've used overclockers, they deliver. I wouldn't recommend trying to use their returns system tho

Oh, when you said small, I thought you meant small!

I have a PC here that measures (gets ruler...) just under 8" x 6" x 0.5", and that includes the memory and disk. It's currently running NT4.

My EPIA 800 (see mini-itx above) is still in it's box...



...couldn't find a case small enough

The thing really is tiny - pic doesn't do it justice

BTW, the thing hanging out of the front is a slimline DVD. Guess the next project?

mark_h, chiark, how on earth have you managed to make them that small? Very cool though
