I want low power. That's an asset, not a liability.
All I see is numbers like $337, or else "no stock." And I can't be sure about the powerup bios situation.
The Logicsupply people answered my questions right away, and confirmed the powerup option. I got what I need, fully assembled and tested, for $279. I doubt that Acer will answer detailed questions about their BIOS... if you can email them at all.
It's worth a few bucks to get exactly what I need, with no hassles.
You're an idiot. They'll tell you right off. Hell get on the forum, IDIOT. The people that USE them will tell you within minutes!
Get an OS with that? Get RAM with that? Get an HD with that?
I didn't say buy the new, hot Acer revo.
Buy the oldest, low end job they sold over a year ago. It works fine, and DOES what you want. There is no reason for the follow on product to change from that trend.
OK, since it's so easy, why don't you find out if the revo bios supports auto power on. Be helpful for a change, instead of just cursing.
RAM, HD, power supply, all assembled and tested. I could have ordered an OS installed, but we have a stack of XP oem CDs, and one of my guys can install that in a few minutes of work.
But you were just raggging us for using old stuff. Now you're telling us to use old stuff.
The Acers I can order online are over $300, and I still don't know about the bios. The Logicsupply folks actually answer my questions; Acer or HP or Dell sure won't.
In my very first (maybe second) reply post in this thread, on this very day.
I told you it does, and the Zotac as well.
POAPF. Been around for a long time. Me too.
Been doing it for a long time.
Here is the Acer Revo, made 10°F cooler by my tweaks applied during the upgrade process, and I added RAM (doubled/maxed it)and a bigger, faster HD, so the temp should have gone up. All done ESD safe.

Here is the Zotac build. This one was a tad more costly. Took a while too with the added photo sessions.

Right, I even had some problems with the knoppix live CD in the past, it would not recognise my mouse... Installing that would be a bad idea.
I use grml, from

comes as a live CD (download) but also it has a nice install option and is debian based. It does not have the bloat that other distros have, and is much more professional. I am running 2 versions of it at the same time here on one machine, one old one that I modified to do anything possible, and one with some programs like the latest firefox as chroot.
grml uses the zsh shell by default, more convenient than bash. You can just get the last command you typed from history by tying the first character[s]. So if you did: top ls cd something_complicate
then typing: t and cursor up ONCE gives you top again, then type ENTER. I like that feature so much, it saves a lot of time.
Many have no clue and will just go with the first thing that seems to work. That said, trying every Linux distro on every hardware possible is a lifetime job too. Often you just have to get the job done.
You know what? Your Usenet posts are repetitive and boring, and have no redeeming value whatsoever. I'll bet that even your grocery lists are more compelling reading than your posts.
In the interest of humanity, I think you should be euthanised.

You are obviously a retarded dweeb that was also a retarded dweeb back when this music was on the streets.
You are a school marm mentality twit that was probably 'raised' by a school marm mentality bitch.
It don't get no dumber than you, boy.
I work with cutting edge 10GB gateways. You are too stupid to grasp the depth of that statement, much less have any clue about the technology behind it.
You don't need the Nvidia Ion for your application.
The $350 units are similar to what I built, though the Zotac mobos are kind of junky compared to Asus. Also, mine has the 4Gbytes, while the Revo is sold with 2G. Since I use SSD, I run mine without VM, so having 4G is useful.
The Asus mobo can run fanless if given lots of air.
