Which Asus barebones?

[Randell Floyd]

I'm building a DivX box for my room and I now need to pick a barebones to run the hardware I have.

It's come down to

* Asus T2-P Silver/Black Deluxe £100

* Asus Vintage Barebones System £65

* Asus S-Presso S1-P112 Barebones System £130


Now the budget was £100 max, and the barebones needs to handle a socket 478 chip ( either celeron d or 400mhz celeron ), 200gb IDE,pc2700 and a Radeon 8500 which will be used as a S-Video Out.

Dont need DVD playback or Digital TV as I have a high spec Sony setup. I cant see me using it for anything more than DivX.

I have a Microsoft Remote Control and Media Centre 2005.

Would anyone have expirence with the three above, is it worth the extra money for the next model up on each of them?

Why not just buy a divx player? I got one of the crystal ones from aria and It's a great little player.

Do you have a link to where i can browse Asus' range of barebones?

Are they any good as small, competent gaming rigs?
