Re: [cobalt-users] Cobalt Alternative

["Randall Clark" <wz297@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because the board has it built in.
Check out this link and tell me if it looks familiar
http://www.pcchips.com/741lmrt.html
You can get a case, with removable disk drive, 52X CD, Floppy, Motherboard,
with built in sound, video, 10/100MB Nic, 56K Modem for $199.99 Just look
for base systems.  On the RedRaq, I see a port called Future or (Super
Secret port)
all this is, is a GAME port that they dont know what to do with. Why dont
you hook up a joystick and play Quake!! With the VGA port, they say that it
will only support 800 by 600, well I will send you the drivers if you need
to enable the 16MB SVGA card that is built in. What a joke. It may be worth
it just to get one of these things and get the CD and make a few copies and
send the machine BACK!! I will build you one of these for Far less.

Sorry for the ranting, I just couldnt help it.

Randall
