The image is sharp, stable, and full of contrast and colour. Microsoft's Intellimouse is included, along with Tiny's standard multimedia keyboard and a good pair of bass-boost desktop speakers. These can be used for a headset microphone or desktop speakers, and can be easily unplugged when not needed. One minus point is that when the cover of the desktop case is removed, it cannot be completely separated from the system unit because of connecting audio leads, and this will make maintenance awkward. Despite the external dimensions of the system unit and its spaciousness inside, there are only two drive bays and one of these is internal only.
Expansion slots are in short supply too.
Of the three PCI slots, two are already claimed by the network and modem cards, which leaves a single free PCI slot, but no provision for using ISA devices. All rights reserved.
