$350 Dell WinXP mac mini clone
Apple Mac Mini like Desktop Computer from Dell
Dell has unveiled a budget desktop computer that looks very sleek and is available for purchase without a monitor.The design of this low-cost Dell EC280 resembles the Mac Mini or a set-top box while the technical specs are ideal for basic computer tasks like web surfing, email, sharing pictures, etc.
Prices starts at around $350 so if you have an spare monitor lying unused at home, this Intel based Windows XP machine could be a good option for you. Unfortunately, this is currently available only for the Chinese market.
While the design of EC280 is small and cute, this is not the cheapest option from Dell even when they are targeting the emerging markets.
For instance, the Dell Dimension C521 comes preloaded with Windows Vista Home, bigger hard drive, a faster processor and other accessories for roughly the same price and is available worldwide.
