I have just purchased a quantity of computers for my classroom use because of 
there very compact size, high performance and low cost - worth looking at and 
they come in many configurations. They were originally called Acer Power1000 
and Power2000. They are now branded as Veriton. these come in many packages 
but the VM460 line is the ultra compact. Has all the builtin features - video 
and audio with many USB ports. They come in many configurations all dual core 
Intel or AMD fast processors, large HDD and built-in DVD writeable drive and 
Wi-Fi. Negatives - no expansion slots, or RS232 but with half a dozen USB 2 ports 
that can be handled.  I don't have a report on soundcard performance a'la Ham 
Radio, but everything else works great. Can be bought in many configurations 
for prices from upper $300s to mid $800s with choice of XP or Vista for the 
O/S.
