http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=240&topic_id=2215&mesg_id=2215In it, I discussed building a box with wireless access for under $200, building a decent office box for around $275, and how to upgrade an AOD257 to obtain a dual core netbook with 2gb RAM and SSD for around $375 Dunno what to do next. Maybe I'll put gentoo or slackware on the AOD257

4. yeah. i would be reamed and rightly so. i bought the barebox before i thought the issue through. |
|
but to be honest, lots of our electronic gear comes from miserable chinese sweatshops. i bought an apple mini a few years ago, and in the course of tracking delivery watched it move through china before crossing the pacific. i bet the gigabyte boards in several of my boxes come from chinese sweatshops, too

I, as you are, am guilty of using their products, also. At work, no less.
