Wanted - PC to run Mach3

[Scott B]

Looking for a PC suitable for running Mach3 CNC to run a small router... anyone got one they want to sell at a reasonable price - or hot tips on where to look for one.

Requirements are:

Not much in the way of grunt - 1GHz, half Gig of ram or better (though 2.4Gig P4 is apparently the way to go).
Native Parallel port.
Dedicated Graphics Card
Win XP.

If I could get one in a small form factor box it would be great.

Might be a bit too fancy - Win7 and dual core's are probably going to cause problems =(

There are a heap of Lenovo 6072-BVM 's on gumtree and ebay, not sure if they have room for a dedicated graphics card though? or if they have a parallel port for that matter.

As I have mentioned before Asptiech do sell many other kinds of computers, servers, etc etc, the type I posted are their standard-community package

Give them a call, or just pay them a visit, tell them Robert sent you and you are from Hackerspace and you can most likely get the used computer of your dreams and price you want :-)

PS I've seen some nice core2 small form-factor 12V power pack machines down there with parallel ports No-OS

Thanks, I'll shoot them through an email, sounds like they should be able to put together something suitable.
