| 195617 | 2003-11-29 00:16:00 | Does anybody know of a compaq model, made about five years ago, that incorporated the monitor into the case? The reason I ask is that my sister has informed me that she was given a compaq like that, and wants me to fix it up for her. But I can't imagine Compaq making anything like she describes, certainly not five years ago. Can anybody correct me on this? Lizard |

| 195618 | 2003-11-29 00:23:00 | Yep. Standard item. Philips made them too. I've got a couple lying around. Usually have Ethernet on board ... they were made as an Ethernet terminal. The Compaq ones need a Torx screwdriver to undo the (two) screws which hold the electronics tray in. Then a firm pull on the handle will remove it. The memory will be 72pin SIMM. One of mine actaully has a Pentium Overdrive chip replacing the original 486. |

| 195620 | 2003-11-29 20:54:00 | So they were Pentium babies. Any more general specs? How easy are they to upgrade? | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 195621 | 2003-11-29 20:55:00 | Also, what was the model number? I want to see if I can find a picture on the net somewhere... | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 195622 | 2003-11-30 02:22:00 | Well, not all pentiums ... my Compaq one is a "Prolinea Net33"so it was originally a 33 MHz 496 :D. | Graham L (2) | ||
