YES, It's a (used) DELL.
I picked up a cool unit a while ago. Always the ever vigilant computer monger...I stumbled across a Dell SX260 locally, and picked it up for a song (I used my weekend 'refreshment' fund :icon_wink: ).

But it is 8.5cm wide by 24.2cm deep by 24.7cm high. It sported a jazzy 1.8 Ghz Celeron, 128 M ram (I added 512 of ram from the computer dungeon), and a 20 gig HD. This is so much like a laptop, it even uses an external laptop type power supply and laptop HD.
EDIT: I actually upgraded the ram to 768 Mb of PC2700 I had laying around, and reseated the cpu heatsink with some fresh artic silver...Now if I can find a $10 P4 2.8 Ghz cpu......
This is not for crunching, Just surfing and office tasks. I hooked up a spare 19" LCD next to my gamer box and "bam zoom", a snappy, quiet box to jump on the internet with. It boots up quick and runs quiet.
This might even run in my car with a touch screen....Hmmm
