Inexpensive ultra portable (NON-netbook)?

Try an IBM X40 or X41 - 12.1" screen, 60GB and under $400, pluss, terrific battery life (and built to last!). If you've got the extra $150, go for the X60/61 as recommended by Spike.

Thinkpad X200 came in today...

I'm going to answer this not from experience from the x200, but from my lowly x40. It should be able dual displays like that no problem - if my 4 year old notebook can, then the brand new one certainly can!

Sufficient PSU for SFF?

I'm running a 250W Seasonic m-ATX PSU with the rig below, and it runs great! No problems, so don't be too obsessed with getting a 1kW PSU.

Updated 9/20: Bing cashback

Give it a few hours/a day - it sometimes takes a while to show up. My first took about 20 minutes, the second about 20 hours. Brianoes

Suggest a device for me

Try and find a used IBM X40 or X41 - 2.7 lbs, 12" LCD, and the 'normal' workings of a PC, and none of the limitations of the cheaper netbooks. They can be found for under $350 (for the X40) - I love mine and heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight and durable platform with good...

FlexATX Motherboard Upgrade for Shuttle?

I don't think flexATX really hit home with many mobo manufacturers - there haven't been too many that I have seen. I think that your chances for finding a powerful yet small board may rest in a (slightly more exotic) micro-ITX board, possibly the Commel LV-678 - C2D with x16 PCI-E. I think they...

Small Laptop/ultraportable for (motorcycle) travel...

I've got a used IBM X30. Its fantastic. Pro's: Really light, fantastic keyboard to type on, almost 5 hours of battery life with a new battery, CF slot, 2.5" hard drive, CHEAP! I got mine for $400 off of eBay. The thing is built (almost) like a tank. I'm sure that any damage that it *could*...

Brother HL-2070N Laser Printer with print server - $79.99 AR @ Staples

I've had this brother for about 3 months now, it works fantastically! The integrated server functions are really nice, and it is much smaller than my older Brother Laser printer. I got mine new for $135 from OfficeMax, this refurb sounds like a good deal.

How do you like your widescreen monitor?

I've got a 2407, and it is fantastic. This is coming from dual 17" monitors - there was some loss of functionality, as I was using UltraMon, and it kept organization of windows and other stuff really easy. But now that I have had this monitor for 2 months, I will never go back. Working in a...
