It’s called the Everex TC2502 and I like it.

Everex TC2502Why is it so great? First of all, it uses less energy than a typical desktop computer so it’s friendly to the environment. Second, the price is right; it doesn’t come with a monitor, but monitors are so inexpensive now, and you may even have an extra lying around somewhere…I do.

Last, but not least, it’s not Windows! The Everex TC2502 runs on the gOS operating sytem, a Linux system that’s based on Ubuntu and Enlightenment). This is a great alternative to that crap OS and obviously much more affordable than the pricey Macintosh.

Some of the specs:

  • 80GB hard drive
  • 512 MB RAM (2 GB max)
  • CD burner and DVD player
  • OpenOffice software
  • Ethernet port
  • Keyboard, mouse, and stereo speakers
