I have a stack (literally a tall stack) of Optiplex GX520 mini towers and one small form factor. I also have one each 745 tower, 755, 760 and 780 SFF. The 780 may become my new HTPC since it has a DisplayPort and there are DP to HDMI adapters or I could install a low profile PCIe x16 card with HDMI. (My current HTPC is an old Compaq EVO. Low profile AGP cards with HDMI do exist but they're insanely expensive.) Also in the lot is a 620 that won't turn on, all it does it light the yellow standby power LED on the board. It's not the common 620 capacitor problem nor the power supply. I moved that to one of the 520's that was missing its power supply. Then there's three mpc ClientPro 385 and some other towers, plus a pile of laptops including four mpc TransPort T2500 (same as Samsung X65). Just got power bricks for a couple of 17" Dell LCDs. Sadly, one has a star crack in the upper middle that's invisible until the backlight is on. The LCD itself is fine, so is the matte finish front layer. Get any color but black behind the crack and it almost vanishes. If you're anywhere near Weiser, ID, I have some computers. :) --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
