single 1GHz  celeron processer there for a good price.  I popped it in
and it works fine.  Well almost fine...  i have some tweaking to do.

It's a fine little system.  i'm using it for an interface to a digital
balance to weigh close to 4000 plant samples for my thesis.  I'm also
using as a digital image analysis system.  Real estate is valuable in
the lab.  Also, the thing just looks cool!  I'll be moving it home in a
few months and probably integrating it into something else.

Thanks for your advice Tobbe, I tried most of your suggestions before I
discovered the processer problem.
