HP Compaq DC7800 Digital Gateway Computer

My latest radio acquisition. A refurbished 2007 Hewlett Packard Compaq DC7800.

Well, it's radio related. This little beastie (it's an Ultra Small Form Factor PC) is going to be the box that runs the software for the Internet connection on my WiRES X Gateway, and/or my D-Star DVAP Gateway.

It's a 32 Bit Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz with 2GB of RAM, a 160GB HD and DVD RW Drive, with just enough 'grunt' to run Windows 7. On the plus side, it has eight USB 2 ports!

These are workhorse desktop computers, designed to operate in corporate environments all day long, so it should do just fine running my simple node software.
