For myself I usually avoid rebates when possible buy I could be swayed by this one if I was looking for such a box. -- Gary On Thu, 23 Dec 2004, Bill Mills-Curran wrote:
No info in the add about the components, but it's worth noting that the list price is $450, which is reduced by a $200 "instant rebate" and a $50 "easy rebate". (I know, I know... it's all advertising gimmicks.)
It's model # SR1200NX. Here's a link from Google:

All the AMD processors work fine with Linux, but at that price I'm not sure what you are getting. It most likely will be somewhat of a dog due to cheapo motherboard/graphics/memory components.

Staples has a low-priced machine advertised in the Globe: $199.94 for a Compaq Presario with an AMD Sempron processor. Any idea how this might work with Linux? I picked up a cheap Compaq at Walmart a year ago, and I returned it because it was such a dog.
