New Gear #2

Shuttle KPC K45 Barebone system $45 after rebate
Intel E2140 Pentium Dual Core CPU + Stock Fan from old parts
2GB Ram from old parts
80GB WD HD from old parts
TV Tuner from old parts

Total costs: $45 assuming the rebate comes back.

This case is really small, much smaller than the In Win case I bought earlier. But because it's so small there's no room for to fit a dvd burner unless I mod the case to include a slim type. So I just open the case and attach a dvd burner to install the things I need, everything else go through the network. Not sure what to do with this build yet. It works well for a 24x7 server because of the low power consumption or as a basic net box. But most likely I'll just sell it and see if I can make any profit.
