So many of you have probably alread heard about the walmart PC for $200 that has sold out online and is raising some serious competition in the low end PC market. This PC runs on a 1.5Ghz Via C7 processor which consumes only 20Watts of power. The board it comes with has SATA, DDR2, 8 USB ports, Onboard Video & LAN. It’s a very very nice piece of hardware that can be purchased at clubit.com for a measly $60 + shipping. We picked up one to give it a go. We’ve got it running Fedora 8 at 1280×1024 resolution at a acceptable amount of response time. The video looks crisp and clear and everything worked right out of the box and it’s pretty amazing considering it only cost us $60….

Here are some photos of our new found toy:

New Streetlight Manifesto due out next month

I haven’t heard some good new Ska in a while, and thank god Streetlight’s new album doesn’t suck.  I was concerned after the last few releases from Catch 22 and the likes.  I got a chance to listen to the new album in it’s entirety today and… I have a preorder in for the retail copy when it comes out.  It’s worth purchasing..

Music companies and artists bitch about piracy and stealing when there is a simple solution to the whole problem.. Charge a fair price and put out a full CD of good music then, you’ll get your money and the consumer will be happy with the product.. plain and simple.  The new streetlight CD is around 50 minutes of quality music and only costs $12 on Amazon.  Needsless to say; I purchased a copy.
