Has anyone tried either the Walmart PC, or specifically this motherboard?
I have been thinking of getting one to build a file/backup/music server (only
functions, unless normal pc goes down, then troubleshoot), so the low power and on all the time appeals to me.
I was going to suggest the Intel D201GLY2 mobo ( http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d201gly2/ ) but I just looke dup the gPC at Wal-Mart and it's now on clearance for $150 down from $199, if you can find a store carrying it.

Jon, Where did you see the $150? It is still showing $199 as of 2:27 pm, that I see, but the motherboard (would need memory too), is $60 with processor.
Thanks
PS (not available in stores, after their non computer people kept returning them when Windows software wouldn't run, but can have shipped to store)

Not available online, according to the page I found: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614 And your comment is why I mentioned "if you can find a store carrying it."
