So I was suppose to get a p4 and a pentium, but I asked the guy why are you selling? He said I am going to throw it anyway but didn’t have time to sell more, so I asked if I can take what he was throwing? And the answer was yes... so I ended up with two ibm pentium pro servers and a dell desktop …

Can only agree that the presario 425,433 are nice :) I to bought one from some one that couldn’t pack well and ended up whit computer in 1000 parts. They think one booble wrap was good in a box which had no empty room on any sides. Finally I found one in Italy that i asked for fedex or equal to pack …

At last first industrial chassis arrived with 4 slot backplane and a pca-6751 @ 266 mmx/256mb men and 512mb compact flash sbc. I’m happy that it did have a holder for a floppy drive hidden behind a panel. I'm curious about this case, what is the model number and what would be a good place to …

I might just get a 80mm and mount it directly to the case without the big metallic holder if it is needed. It’s like it was mentioned before the pca-6751 does get hot, also I’m unsure if I will use that sbc because of screen configuration is need so using a screen whit high resolution will just make …
