I've just received a DreamX Bravo from Friendtech! The machine overall looks very good, it has a Pentium 3 processor with 256K cache, 128MB of RAM and a massive 200GB HDD. There are a few minor annoyances though, one is that it was shipped with an illegal BIOS, but they have assured me the final version will come with the legal MCE BIOS. Also, the new skin is merely a recoloured old skin from the DreamX 1480, this means that it has a redundant "Standard/ Turbo" decal on it where the switch would have gone. The modchip contained within is a rather modest 256K in size but is raincoat flashable - it makes running a server impractical, however, as you need to hold down the power button to enable the third party BIOS... so later, I'll be swapping this over with a Xenium (generously donated by XboxChips.com!). The Bravo comes with a very nice, high quality, gold plated AV lead and a single controller.

In all, the Bravo is a very nice machine which is really well tweaked for running Linux. If all goes well, I may migrate the Gentoox server over to this machine, or use it as the Gentoox build machine to speed up release times. Many thanks to Friendtech for this donation!

Heres a photo of my rather messy (at the moment) setup:
