Foxconn RS233

after over 1 year, working good

none so far

Small, very quiet, exactly as advertised

None that I have found yet

Cheap and cost effective. Since the end of November, I have assembled about 20 of these, and all but 1 flew off the shelf. That one had XP on it, and the rest had Win7

None that I can see

Compact. Has a good feature set. Though not stunning, it does look sharp

The plastic tabs on the front cover are somewhat fragile. (a friend accidentally snapped one off) Getting the hard drive in is not the most enlightened process, but it works fine

Great price for such a well built little box. I was really shocked at the construction and sense of quality that it held when I received it

Tabs on front cover are a bit flimsy, care needs to be taken when removing it

Unproblematic product. It's easy to install two hard disks (using a mounting bracket in the 5.25" bay), add some memory, a GbE card ; CPU and hard drives stay cool even under load

Limited expandability. Graphics problematic on new Linux distributions (Ubuntu 9.10 and OpenSuSE 11.2 will hang doing 3D operations)

We use these as point of sale computers. Mainly to run citrix or terminal services over dsl. With XP Pro as the os they boot fast and are very responsive. for the price if one breaks (which has not yet happened) you dont feel bad about taking the hdd...

It's been said. Those little plastic tabs that hold the fron bezel on are flimsy so be careful

Small, cheap, works well. After looking through my box of spare parts I decided to build a new music computer. The Foxconn works great ; I dropped in a spare SATA HD, gig of memory, SATA DVD, and 3.5" card reader and voila, a nice little computer for...

plastic tabs, tight install. I broke one of the tabs and had to tape the bottom of the front bezel. Using expansion card would be tough, it's very tight. SATA only, no IDE, but that's OK. My memory just barely fit, height-wise

It went together easily, works well. I borrowed an external CD drive to install Windows XP Pro

There's not a lot of room, but I knew that going in. Is the blue light supposed to blink

Great little machine. Sits nicely on a shelf running 24/7 as an ssh/backup server, and random script... runner? :-) Popped in a gig of ram and 160gb HDD I had laying around, and it's running smooth. It's got Debian Lenny x86_64 installed right now, and...

The case is more flimsy than sturdy, but I've seen much worse ; I wish I had a power meter to gauge it's power usage ; 10/100Mpbs LAN speed ; The blue power LED is pretty bright ; Installing the components is pretty tricky, but nothing horrible or...
