The system runs Win 2000, has a 700 MHz Socket 370 Celeron, 256 megabytes of PC133 SDRAM, and a 10 gigabyte Western Digital hard disk drive. The only fan is inside the small power supply so it’s fairly quiet. It certainly wouldn’t take much effort to carry around. There are still several of these on eBay, usually starting at a few bucks. A few of them have 1 GHz P3 processors, but they start a bit higher.

Having picked one up (because I think it’s a cool-looking little machine) I’ve backed up the Win2000 SP4 disk (after updating it with all patches available) and will probalby install Linux on it. I know it will certainly make a great small-footprint and low-wattage web server.
