Small Form Factor Pentium 4 PC Roundup - March 2003

Jetway MiniQ 450
Jetway was the first non-Shuttle SFF PC we got in our labs; the machine was configured and sent to us through AMAX, who offer the Jetway as well as other SFF PCs through their website. The appealing exterior left us with one complaint - the lack of a standalone power switch. If you look at the front of the chassis, there's one long black strip that covers up the power and hard drive LEDs, pressing the right side of that plastic strip is how you power on the system - not exactly the most elegant way of doing it.
The front features the usual set of ports, although Jetway outfitted the MiniQ with one more Firewire port than we're used to seeing from Shuttle.
The rear of the MiniQ is fairly plain, the biggest attraction here is the presence of a parallel port in addition to the regular set of ports on the system.
The sides are fairly plain, with a set of ventilation holes to get cool air into the cramped chassis.

Oops -- I should've included this:http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=92hz3...
The above link has a "spec sheet". Takes a P4 up to 2.8G, etc. etc.

MSI has a new "MegaPC" SFF PC with built-in stereo tuner (has a spiffy LCD on the front), model MS6251. If anyone has any experiences with this one, esp. with Linux, please let me know -- I'm emailable at:liberty@eskimo.com

Speaking of taking up space on the desk...Is it just me, or is it more "efficient" to have a PC on the floor where you'd otherwise have... floor (under a desk, or near it) than to have a cube PC take up desk space that you can otherwise use?

Well, except that the keyboard is two inches thick, there is no AGP slot, the chipset is SiS, and the performance _really_ stinks. :(Build an nForce2 IGP in there, let it use standard drives and memory, and make it as inexpensive as shuttle boxen, and it'll be worthwhile :)

There is an alternative to the Box PC. It is called the "zero-footprint-pc" by Cybernet, it is a complete Pentium 4 based PC inside a normal size keyboard. The CUBE PC types are nothing more than a mini-tower still taking desk space. The Keyboard PC does not take any more than a keyboard on your desktop.kaniakhan - Monday, December 17, 2018 - link
