I got a couple of these HP DC7900 computers recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300962992355 With "idle=poll" in grub, I have gotten 5000ns latencies. There might be a USFF form of this but they tend to not have any slots. Also, I have no idea if just having a Core 2 Duo will give these latency numbers. The DC7800 seems to have similar latencies. > Also, any recommendations on touch screen setups that work with minimal > hacking would be welcome as well! I have also been looking at these, but haven't bought one yet, so I'm not much help here. I'm tending towards having real buttons placed on the monitor perimeter instead. > > Thanks, > Matt -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
