Hi all,
I'm trying to put together an SFF machine for a mate of mine's birthday and have two questions really...
1) VGA. Currently he uses a modded XBOX to run as his Linux server. This is handy because he uses his TV screen as him monitor. I've noticed a lot of the SFF boxes have VIDEO (TV) out. Does anyone know if this is software-based or hardware based? The reason I ask is for Linux compatability. So basically, if the boot-up sequence appears on the Tellie - then thats good. If its just WinMe/whatever then thats bad. Does anyone know much about this at all?
2) SFF in London. I would much prefer to go and look at a bunch of cases than ordering online. Does anyone know of good stockists in London where I can pop in and see the cases?
Cheers
