[geeks] The new IPC/LX, from Dell?

[John Francini]

This product looks very interesting.  It does look like they've  
targeted the Mac mini indeed.

I wish Dell would go to slot-loading drives -- it's annoying that even  
on their high-end/business/server-class products (Latitude, Optiplex,  
Dell Personal Workstation, PowerEdge) they still use tray-loading  
drives!  Apple has exactly ONE product that uses a tray-loading drive  
-- the Mac Pro -- and it's a fully-motorized tray, not the spring- 
powered stuff.
