Among the more popular posts on this blog are my DIY $200 PC posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). There are a few compromises with that route, such as it involves using a motherboard with an integrated 1.2GHz Celeron processor, which isn’t exactly good for much more than file serving and basic web browsing.

The KPC has an MSRP of $99 for barebones and $199 for the complete system. Pricing out a similarly equipped complete system (but with a mid tower case) showed that even the cheapest list of parts weighed in at about $185 with shipping.

A $99 PC obviously isn't going to deliver a blockbuster experience, but Shuttle's toaster-sized KPC actually has the hardware to get the lightweight job done: 1.8GHz Celeron processor, 512MB RAM and an 80GB hard drive, all of which is expandable.

Shuttle's KPC is here. It offers cost-effective green computing for the masses. Power users need not apply.

Shuttle offers the KPC bare-bone PC, which runs the Foresight Linux OS. Shuttle KPC is available in 2 versions, basic and upgrade version. You can get an Intel Celeron processor for basic and Pentium dual-core for upgrade version. The KPC supports up to 2GB of RAM and features Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics.

For a starting price of $US299, you get the K 4500 (there is supposed to be a Celeron version for $US199, but who cares about that?).

Yay for Shuttle! This is the way to do it! March 5th, 2008 I may be a bit late on this, but I just read that Shuttle just released their new KPC Shuttle Computers and the default operating system they will be shipped with is Foresight Linux! This is really great news, and I’ll tell you why.
