Topic: Dell FX160 - Perfect print station computer!

I've got an extra Dell FX160. I use one with my Solidoodle 2, to remote into and slice/run print jobs. It works great for this, especially since it has onboard WIFI. It's compact, only pulls 30 watts of power when its on (less than the bed heater of a SD2!)  and nearly silent - no fans, all passive cooling. Has wireless b/g, and gigabit ethernet.

I can sell it barebones, or ready to go. Prices:

Barebones (working computer minus RAM and HD) - $75 shipped.
Ready to go (2GB RAM, 40GB HD, Windows XP with valid key) - $115 shipped.

I can also throw in a Dell Keyboard and Optical Mouse, both USB, for $10.

Let me know if you're interested.

Ooh, that's pretty nice smile. I use my old broken laptop, though.
