    Compare to a Pentium 3, which can run XP lite or 2000. Not a bad little package.

    We've seen people running older thinkpad laptops etc that aren't high powered, and doing well. This could be quite the budget piece for someone running something not very fancy like myself.

    My only hurdle would be powering all the usb stuff, which you could do from a PSU and not the PC itself.
