[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 965917, member: 176362"] I have to admit personally Im not a huge fan of sff (small form factor) & half height computers. They are all very well for squeezing into small spaces but they can be a bugger to work on. Two members of our staff need extra usb points over & above the 6 already fitted on their computers (2 front 4 rear, 3 of which are taken up by the mouse, keyboard & smartboard connections) The mobos are so small they dont have any expansion slots at all so we end up with external hubs hung off the front & back - then someone unplugs something they shouldnt to plug a memory stick in and I end up being called down to trace all the ruddy wires and get everything working again! Its a pita at times - as invariably the teacher needs that file off the disconnected external drives [B]NOW.[/B] Ive got a full sized case and when I ran out I found an old usb card in the spares pile & slotted it in - job done once and tickety boo!
