    OK so in the usual scheme of things teh 6214 would never be regarded as a desktop replacement.

    However I have run into a spot of bother. In trying to give my proper desktop something of teh performance of my Zepto I installed a new dual core Athlon processor, and something subsequently went bang.

    I've hooked my Zepto up to my monitor, keyboard and mouse so that all is not lost.

    So here it is, a 6214 used as a very real desktop replacement.

    I bought my 6214 a desktop replacement actually. Didn't have money for both. Only difference it makes is I don't have to get up and crawl behind my desk when I want to hook something up :)
