I originally bought this for a friend of mine and I guess she's not going to take it so its going up for sale.
The e-Vectra from HP is a mini PC aimed primarily at corporates. It's about 1/5 the size of a conventional desktop PC and is only 3.5" thick. You can lay it flat or keep it upright on a small plastic stand that comes with it. The e-Vectra has an external power supply similar to that in laptops, so it saves the space of an internal SMPS. The main computer is divided into two parts. One holds the bulk of the system including the motherboard, processor, RAM, etc. The other half contains the hard drive. A thin metal sheet separates both these. The hard drive can easily be taken out by simply sliding the cover, but you can't access the other components.
Since the eVectra has such a compact design, it's not meant to be upgradable. So there are no PCI, ISA or AGP slots for any further expansion. One thing we did miss in it though was a floppy drive. Also it doesn't have any extra bays to add devices like a DVD or a CD-Writer.
Features: PIII/733; 128 MB RAM; 5.4gb hdd, built-in LAN, sound and video.
Pros: Good performance; compact; good hardware security.
Cons: No floppy drive and extra bays to attach drives.
its currently running on windows xp, if wanted i van put me, 2000 or 98se for whomever buys it. I'll also throw in a Dell 15inch monitor too, and an external floppy drive, keyboard and mouse.
