My first computer was an Everex. I paid more than this system costs to upgrade the HDD from 20 to 30 MB.

Yes. I am a dinosaur.

Just came acoss this from HardOCP...:

Intel to launch Shelton'08 low-cost desktop platform next year

********************EXCERPT*************************

Intel is expected to launch its Shelton'08 low-cost desktop platform for systems priced as low as US$100 next year and targeting emerging markets, according to industry sources. Even though it is a desktop platform, its improved heat dissipation and power consumption will have Shelton'08 first being adopted for sub-US$300 notebooks in the third quarter of 2008, and shortly afterward for US$100 desktop systems, the sources said.

According to the sources, the platform will use 45nm Diamondville processors, with either Intel's 945GC or SiS 671 chipsets. It supports Microsoft Vista Basic.

I bought one of the very first Everex Step-20 386 systems in KC way back when... 20MHz 80386, 4MB RAM, EGA graphics (eventually upgraded to VGA!) 120MB & 65MB RLL hard drives, running SCO Xenix 386. I was also Everex Warranty authorized, including the Everex MP (Multi-processor) Cube, based on the Corollary C-Bus MP system. What a piece of JUNK! But their Step systems were very high quality, and pushed the performance of the the hardware to the point of occasional instability... I really liked their stuff, way back then...
