panic_mob, <According to KH, Biostar has shipped 10k EasyNow PCs. Biostar received another 50K order for Dec, but can only pump out about 30k due to a shortage of those fancy casings. 10k out of that order came from Siemens. Biostar expects to have produced one hundred thousand EasyNow PCs by January. Related links are here, here, and here . > Thanks for posting. Even though I was not too excited about it when it came up, I think AMD has a winner in EasyNow - provided they do a good job of marketing that sucker. Should be a kick-ass PC once AMD ships Spitfires on EasyNow sometime next year (Q2?) Chuck

panic_mob, I told you guys about the Biostar produced EasyNow! PCs that I saw at Comdex. Again, from what their rep told me, we should be seeing them hit the shelves very soon in stores such as Best Buy. They look great and have monitors and keyboards that match the various color schemes. Personally, I have never been too crazy about the translucent colored plastic, but Biostar had one in a beautiful, metallic, non-transparent color. It is going to be a big hit. They will sell all they can make. With the cd mounted parallel with the front face, the casing curves in to be narrower towards the back. The box is really quite small. With the success that Biostar will have with it, other manufacturers will be jumping on board. I would think that the EasyNow! PC would be a great box to absorb all K6-2 low frequency bin splits.
