Anyone who attended TechEd Australia will know that Microsoft were reselling the Dell computers that were used to power CommNet and the Hands-On-Labs. There were two machines on offer, the following being the higher powered machine:

So why am I blogging about this after the event has finished? Well I though readers would have a laugh to know that I went ahead an purchased one of these machines. Which left me with the problem of how to get the machine home to NZ. Sending it by courier was going to cost $250, which I thought was a bit extreme. The alternative was to take it on the plane as Check-In luggage. A quick hunt at the local markets, and $30, I was equipped with a massive suitcase, large enough to transport a large child. The following photos on Flickr illustrate the future of mobile computing. Thats right a PC-In-A-Box 😉
