here is the link it has the picture of inside so you can see where the 2.5 hd mounted and notice the cpu cooler? it's a heatsink connected to copper pipe to front of water cooler?

Looks pormising, but its a tad too expensive for me, now maybee if they lowered it down to $199 I might talk.

Another interesting appliance is the internet computer at www.thinknic.com. Cyrix 266, 64 Mb ram, 24X CDrom, 2 USB, ethernet, mouse and keyboard, no TOS agreement - $199. Unfortunately, doesn't say video out, so probably doesn't. Since the CDrom in included, I suspect it supports ide devices up front.

do you know if the think nic had any expansion slots, like a PCI slot or ISA slot

No expansion slots. Some data found at http://202.82.156.83/nopc5598.html and some pics at http://www.bicnic.com/pics.htm. An intact ide header, and looks to take a harddrive no problem. Drivers for most OS's available. I haven't looked much to see how hackable it is, but I did see that a video out may be do-able.

it's not a 'lookalike' it IS the webserver.. if you look at the model on the WS's motherboard, you will see that is it Allwell's board stripped down (too bad it's stripped considering ..
