We Are Currently Installing The Dell Gx280 Small F
We are currently installing the Dell GX280 small form factor (SFF) PC into a couple of our clients retail sites. This particular PC is ideal for under-counter fixing with custom brackets (GX260 SFF brackets) to ensure the security of your equipment. The PC itself is less than 12" x 12" x 6" deep. As usual with Dell it is advertised at a very low price, but once you have added the basic configuration that you require, and the delivery charge that Dell add but do not advertise wholeheartedly, the PC will set you back around 700 to 800 pounds for a 1.8mhz, 80Gb HD, DVD/RW, 17" TFT monitor, 512Mb RAM, and Windows XP operating system. This price can be drastically reduced if you shop around, as Dell are not the cheapest suppliers of their own goods.
The GX280 SFF is however restricted due to its size, and add on boards are a problem, and upgrades are expensive. But, overall this PC, along with the SX260 SFF have a unique place in the hardware market, and they are very robust.
One word of warning is that the power supply connection needs to be handled carefully or else it gets loose and can cause problems.
Thanks much.
Great cards. I can't believe they never came up on one of the many search attempts I made.
I'm pretty cheap when it comes to computer stuff and ended up getting a Radeon X300SE and just removed the bracket.
So far so good and only $59. I will probably at the Asus when I upgrade my monitor though.
Thanks.
For nablur:
try with ASUS EAX1600PRO/I/256M (it is a small factory form, with a low profile bracket included,
or, if you like NVidia, then try
ASUS EN6200TC512/TD/256M,
ASUS EN7300LE/HTD/256M,
ASUS EN7300GS/HTD/256M or
ASUS EN7300GE/HTD/256M (this one seems to be the best with an Nvidia chipset), but for all the last four, you'll have the adjust the bracket.
If you'll find something better than those above, please let me know! :)

I just purchased one of these models and I like it, but I'm having the toughest time finding a graphics card to fit it's PCI-e X16 slot. They are all just too tall.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
