small form factor PC supplier??

->> I am starting to investigate where to get a couple/few small form factor PC's and found discountpc.net. Has anyone purchased from this site? They have some nice Dell optiplex units for small money, add a monitor and it looks to be a great viewing/buying station for a few upcoming events I have this fall winter.

Anyone buy from discountpc.net or can point me in another direction?

->> Jim,
Seems like a decent price to me.
I have never used discountpc, I normally use newegg.com.
If you upgrade to 3gb of ram and keyboard and mouse (if you don’t already have) you get up to about $277.00 it looks like then figure shipping too.
Are you planning to use any software for your view screens? Or just run the 2-3 independent systems?
What will you use to share the photos to customers?
I run a Dell Optiplex GX 260 I believe with 4 GB ram and ten view screens using photoparata.
I am currently starting to put together a true server for the system.
Let us know how it all comes together.

Jeff
