Actually if i wanted to get a new tower case, i
COULD get a tower case
with casters already attached for about $300 new.... but i
like to save
money for other things..........
I would add that a real computer must have a console monitor in firmware, and have the
option of attaching an independent single device (as in a serial terminal) to use for a
console. KVM switches don't count, of course ;)
I guess then, if i went to the store and mounted casters on my Sun
SparcStation 1, it'd be a 'real computer'. Of course if nothing else,
it'd be a 'really slow computer' that rolls faster than the framebuffer
can scroll text. (hehe)
