[geeks] Shuttle announces plain-Jane "cube" PC

[Lionel Peterson]

THere wil be two versions, the "complete" system for $199 (with Celeron CPU, 
945GC chipset, 512 Meg RAM and 60+ Gig HD) or $99 bare (no RAM, CPU or HD)...

My 4 year-old needs a new PC, her Via 800 MHz just isn't up to simple tasks, 
like ripping an audio CD into iTunes (it ripped at 0.6x speed). I built it on 
an Asus barebones system (no RAM, HD, included CD-ROM and CPU) I got for under 
$60 a year or so ago, but I think it's time for an upgrade, and this would be 
nice (except for the lack of an optical drive, how to get Putt-Putt Saves the 
Zoo or Hello Kitty onto it for her...).
