It's dead for me when i burned out a IC.

| I had the Idea to post the link when I was thinking about what is innovative about Computer Technology according to the Steve Jobs Thread.. and I think that there won't be really very exciting innovations anymore. But for me the recycling of Computers and the very cheap reselling of them is still exciting! ;-)
These are quite usable Computers for e very cheap Price.. why should I spend 1000 $ if I can get a Computer which fits to my needs for 30 Euros?
Except the NatAmi of course! *smile*
Somehow its exactly that what makes the NatAmi special, the innovation here is developing machines as a Hobby Project and bringing the computer which caused the most excitement in the 80s to a 21st Century Basis! :-)

| Jorge That link actually reminded me of another thread here about the small going up against the big companies.
Which what apple and micro-soft were back in the mid/late 70's.IMHO, a computer for me is broke, when it is officially beyond repair.

| And that's what I mean.. under this link above you can get a Standard PC to replace a total broke one for a few Euros...I bought one for my girl friend to play older games and listen to some music for 50 Euros there! A new Amiga once costed 5000 $.. so its somehow fantastic to what price you can get a Computer now even if it's a used one! :-) By the Way.. if Aros got more Drivers these Computers there would be perfect machines for Aros i386 ;-) And in a normal store you still have to pay 300 to 500 Euros minimum to get a Computer!

| Here in the US, there is a place called Computer Renaissance but they mark up the repaired hardware terribly. It's not worth shopping there. Once I went in looking for a monitor and ended up going down the street to Best Buy and buying a new monitor instead. It was just plain cheaper that way.

| @thread - get the backup computer out and dust. I was looking for a small PC case to build upon, I found this case : EXTERNAL LINK
Desktop case: MAXINPOWER B299CAL000 Will this be OK for the Natami board ? What is the power usage for chipset, cpu, motherboard of Natami ?

| Asaf a 150Watt power supply should suffice.
as for the format of that case i cannot see if it's supporting the mini-itx format, perhaps i am looking over it.

| @Asaf Ayoub That one says it is a Micro ATX case. I don't remember if the hole drillings work with that kind of case. Look for a Mini ITX case and it will fit for sure.
