Small Footprint PCs?

Posted by Cliff on from the the-smaller-the-better dept.

Gameface asks: "I am looking for the smallest system I can find, in quantity, for my company. We need thousands of these systems, and I'd like to ask the Slashdot community what they'd recommend. Looking for the tiniest footprint for: Case, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD, Serial Port, (2) 10/100 ports. No video required, no sound, all access will be via console (serial port). No OS, just a bare piece of hardware that I can load the OS onto the HDD. I'd really like to find something with SIMMS so we can upgrade the RAM if we need to. And of course, price is very much an issue. Thanks."

    I am looking for the smallest system I can find, in quantity, for my company.

    Why do you say that?

    We need thousands of these systems, and I'd like to ask the Slashdot community what they'd recommend.

    I don't understand.

    Looking for the tiniest footprint for: Case, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD, Serial Port, (2) 10/100 ports.

    Maybe your plans have something to do with this.

    No video required, no sound, all access will be via console (serial port).

    Is it because of your life that you are going through all this?

    No OS, just a bare piece of hardware that I can load the OS onto the HDD.

    Is it because you can load the os onto the hdd that you came to me?

    I'd really like to find something with SIMMS so we can upgrade the RAM if we need to.

    What makes you believe you might want what?

    And of course, price is very much an issue.

    Earlier you said you can load the os onto the hdd?

    Thanks.

    Can you elaborate on that?
