Over on BeGroovy, Deej has posted a review of the Eagle Tech IMC6375, a small form-factor PC. As it’s BeGroovy, the review focuses on using the hardware with BeOS and Haiku – quoted from the introduction:

At $250 for the barebone kit (which included case and motherboard for 89.99, and adding in 1 gig of ram and a 2.53 celeron cpu), I threw in two Hard Disks (foregoing the floppy and putting the second HD in that slot) and a DVDR/CDRW drive I had in an older machine, and connected it to my existing 22-inch widescreen LCD and keys/mouse. The money spent was worth it, sort of…

Deej goes on to describe a few issues that he ran into the with the hardware – he ended up using a cooling solution that’s amusingly familiar – but overall it sounds like quite a nice little piece of hardware, especially if you’re in the market for a compact PC capable of running BeOS. The review doesn’t go into details about performance – but based on the hardware specs, it’s pretty safe to assume that BeOS / Haiku absolutely fly on it.
