Shuttle’s PC for only $199
January 12, 2008 – 1:27 amOpen source rocks! Shuttle introduces KPC linux PC for only $199. It’ll have an Intel Celeron processor, a 945GC chipset, 512MB of memory and either a 60GB or 80GB hard drive. What it won’t have: an optical drive or a PCI Express slot. Despite that, it’s a pretty good-looking box, and comes in red, blue, white, and black, each with a different icon stamped on the front.
What’s so great about this computer is not its price but the computer case in my opinion. The computer case comes in red, blue, white and black. So it will be a great computer if you care less about the functionality but more about the look of the computer.
Shuttle also says there will be a $99 barebones version of the KPC. That version will have the option of upgrading to a Core2Duo processor and 1GB of memory. Both will be available for purchase near the end of the first quarter.
