An Idea of the size of a Mini-PC

Well their they are, my two babies. I put a GameCube next to the Mini so you guys can get a good Ideoa of the size of a mini pc. Well here are the final specs on the PC's

Zion-MyLanBox-Mini
AthlonXP 2100+@2700+
Biostar IDEQ 200N
512 MB Geil DDR PC3200
60 GB Maxtor HDD
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
Lite-On 16XDVD-ROM
Samsung FloppyDrive

Eden-MainBox-Performance
AthlonXP2500+@3200+
Abit NF7-S rev.2
Antec Performance II
Vantec AeroFlow
512MB HyperX PC3200 Ram
120GB Seagate HDD w/8MB Cache
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro-128
Lite-On 16xDVD-ROM
Lite-On52x32x52 CD-RW
Sony FloppyDrive
2XCoolermasters (Blue)

Performance is Simular as long as you don't benchmark. I can honestly recomend building a Mini-PC if you want just one machine and do a lot of LanParties.

The MoBo is already in the case!! But honestly the whole set up can either be the easiest thing ever or a complete pain! For me, it was the latter.You see, if I bought a 2700+ to begin with it would of ran fine without a hitch. But after some benchmarking and gaming it crashed to the desktop (kinda like in the old days when you ran a Geforce 1 with those Cartridge Athlons) and everytime an OC didn't work I had to resest the bios. The process to reset the bios had me cursing so much, it seemed as if I had turrets. I had 2 choices, either a) remove the battery a (but 1st I have to remove the a dimm. Or b) use the jumper wich is located in the FRONT of the freaking system. Unless you have thin alien-like hands getting to that jumper is unpossible. I finally settled with an OC of 2.14 GHz which Windows calls a 2600+. I'm cool with that. The system is nice and convienient when finished tho, lan parties should be more fun and accesable now. I DO NOT recomend this to OC'ers, not in the least. If you get a Mini, make sure to get the top of the line proccesor and forget OCing.If you wanna OC just stick with the tired and true..Abit, Asus, Epox.....and the Shuttle AN35N it looks solid!!! BTW, my MiNi isn't a shuttle its a biostar!!!
