shuttle kpc blueIt seems that Shuttle has received the memo that Linux is finding a niche in budget PC systems. As such, Shuttle is getting set to release their KPC line featuring a fully equipped (not barebones) $199 Linux PC and a barebones version for $99. According to CNET News (via The Linux Action Show!), the $199 KPC will “have an Intel Celeron processor, a 945GC chipset, 512MB of memory and either a 60GB or 80GB hard drive. What it won’t have: an optical drive or a PCI Express slot. Despite that, it’s a pretty good-looking box, and comes in red, blue, white, and black, each with a different icon stamped on the front.” As for the $99 version, Shuttle will leave the choice of CPU, memory, and hard drive storage options up to you.
