As I wrote a couple of nights ago, if I was in the USA, I would order one of those, without giving it a second thought. Wonderful! Next Monday morning, I am going to go to a shopping center in Cali, where there are *lots* of stores that sell computer stuff and see if I can come up with something like that. We have four (4) Dell Dimension boxes and their support here is *SUPER*, but they use proprietary cases, motherboards and power supplies. Their quote of USD$237 for a new motherboard is probably not something I am going to follow up on. The box is running most of the time, which is puzzling, because it is an intermittent problem. My wife just made me an offer I may refuse: She told me to go to the Dell web site for Colombia and look for a new, inexpensive box there. They have one with Ubuntu Linux on it, for about US$700 with a monitor and 3 year in house warranty. Maybe..... :-)
