Title: Where can I get cheap SFF PCs with a couple of PCI slots and PATA
Post by: Mark on March 03, 2008, 14:55:01 PM
As above, need a few to install SPLAT on to - it doesnt work well with SATA

Need to have 1GB RAM, PATA IDE drive and onboard NIC, with space for a couple more.

All the ones Ive ever seen have had 1xPCI and 1xAGP.
Times may have changed and you get PCI-E now.

Have you tried microdirect?

Dont think youll get an SFF with 2xPCI, but this is about as small as youll get I think.
Unless you find one of those horrible Epox cube things.
