I am cleaning out some old inventoryfrom my store room and have 10 Dell SX260/270 Ultra Small Form Factor Desktop computers. These units are roughly 9 3/4" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/2", have built in intel video(dvi), 10/100 nic, sound, 6 usb(4 back, 2 front), and ps2 kb/mouse. The processors are 2.4ghz-2.6ghz p4, 512mb ram and can be upgraded to 2gb, and have 20-40gb 2.5" hard drives. Some have cd burners and some have dvd player/cd burners. The motherboards have all been replaced for the capacitor issue. They all have Windows XP Pro license (oem sticker on side of case) and would ship with the Dell restoration XP cd.
I am would be asking $50.00 a unit. This would be for the unit itself with the power supply brick. No mouse,keyboard, monitor,speakers etc.

Have you tried running wow on one? The only thing I'd doubt is the video card... Would be curious to see how it ran @ 1280x1024 with minimal settings.

I'll try and load one up in the next few days and see the kind of performance in shatt/IF/ogr. I was affect by the Gustav and still awaiting power at home so I'll bring one by work and load it.
The real drawback is that there are no expansion slots for another video card or other device, the unit is all in one. the advantage would be that is a very compact unit. they originally shipped with wall/desk mounting brackets. I could try and see if I have them packed away somewhere.

I would very much be interested in a couple of those units. Let me know when you get it up and running. Even if it wont play wow I could use for other means. :)

I got a few minutes to load a copy of wow and was not excited by the results for moving around in shat. The system only has 512mb and I do not have the memory type on hand to upgrade at this moment to test further. I am ordering some, but I will be out in vegas for a conference next week and will not be able to report my findings until then. So I can provide a quality product, even on the cheap side, I would prefer to have fully tested with additional memory before I will sell them for the purpose of multi-boxing.
Here are some pictures of the units:

I'd be interested in at least one, if not two. How much do they weigh?

In the specs.
Hmm, yeah depending on shipping I'd be interested in several myself. That's a nice price.

Sorry for not following up much (been in vegas and there are better things to do than check email and forums ;) ) Sitting in the vegas airport right now. As soon as I get back to work monday I should have the new memory in to test to see how things run.
With 2 gig of ram and video settings on minimum these will run 1 copy of wow just fine, fine for followers but I wouldn't use it for your main.

I put in 2 gig of memory.
I logged on my bank toon in IF and using the different detail macros ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Macro:Graphics_Settings') I was getting between 22-30fps on low detail in IF - and around 10-15fps on high detail.
I logged in Shat and outside the Scryer bank i was getting 15-22 fps on low detail - and around 7-10 fps on high detail.
Resolution was set to 1280x1024 for both test.
If you are still interested please send me a PM on here with your zip code you would like it shipped to so I can i figure your shipping cost. I will have 10 units with the default 512mb - these do not have keyboards,mice or monitors. The only accessories included will be the power brick and wall/under desk mount. The price will remain $50.00 US.
