[Technic] SFF PC's

[Bill Thoms]

Trails Regional Library has purchased 15 USFF pc's (used Dell's) in 
the past year and have had no problems with them.  I have discovered 
that basically the USFF's are overgrown laptops, i.e., they use 
notebook size hard drives, mini-atx motherborards, and modular 
cd/dvd/fdd drives.  They can be set horizontally, vertically, or 
under a flat surface.  We buy them from a company that purchases them 
from leasing companies and refurbishes them (w/a 3 yr warranty) for 
about half the price.
