Yes it's a modern acorn archimedes (well RiscPC). Yes that is the little blue box next to the TFT and yes that is ALL that it is. It's got everything you need for a basic workstation and it runs on the electricity a small field mouse can generate on a wheel.

A certain well known investment bank I was contracting at a few months ago still runs w2k on all its desktops. While it might have a smaller memory footprint you'd be surprised how much stuff you miss from XP. Especially from a development point of view, lots of APIs you would think were bog standard that didn't exist until XP.

Originally posted by hyperDDropping all services apart from network you should get around 110Mb footprint.
I'm going to grab a gig of RAM for it, another SCSI disk and a couple of P3-700 CPUs and see if it's liveable as a workstation and flog the other thing I think.
