[DC LoCo] cute little linux desktop system for $109

The following message was attempted to be sent in reply to NC Weber's
message, but for some reason the sender sent it to the bounce address
instead of to the mailing list, and I can't see anywhere in the admin
interface to push it through anyway, so you're all getting copy-pasta.

Looking at the Dell manual for the FX160,
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opFX160/en/sm/index.htm

This computer supports non-ECC, 667 MHz or 800 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM only.
It supports memory module sizes of 512 MB (for embedded Linux
operating systems only), 1 GB, and 2 GB. When 800 MHz memory is
installed, your computer operates at 667 MHz.  The Dell site shows a
4GB set.

It also looks like a standard HD install is possible.

However the reviews on this are very poor, and earlier versions of
this style have significant capacitor burnout issues.
