This is the unit we purchased at auction, $110.00. To be used as a media centre.
We will also be running eBox on this machine.
The only addition so far is a 500 Gig Western Digital sata hard drive. Price $54.00.
Acer, VERITON 7800, Tower
1 X Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
2048MB RAM
150GB SATA HDD
40 Speed HL-DT-ST DVD-RWGSA-H11N
Video Card Radeon X1900 XT
No Operating System: We have installed Linux Mint 9 "Isadora"
88E8052 PCI-E ASF Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The great feature with Linux is you can re-cycle older PC's to reduce your costs. The only item we purchased new is an Acer 24 inch HD LCD wide screen monitor. Price $215.00
You can see from the side view of the box there is plenty of space to add an additional 3 hard disk drives. No screws needed to mount HD's, just push the drive into the bay and click it's done.
