No, that's for real. I've seen the Barbie computers. On of my friends nieces has one. It's....not right.

If it were scarlet & gray I consider it for a Buckeys type thing...but pink at gray reminds me of mice. Mice are cool, but then you have to kill them. I hate killing things. One time, I stomped this chipmunk to death......................................






Anyways. I say we chip in and order one of those cases for Daniel.

I wish it still had the decals. I could sell a few of those with no problem. They could of included something bigger than a 433mhz and 32 m ram for $199 though.

I might have read it wrong, but I don't think it actually had a CPU in it...

Colors are not important...that's what paint is for. :D

I don't see what's so wrong w/ it. It'd be an OK computer (hehe, OK computer :D ) for little kids and stuff.

Well, thankyou h2olink.
I just ordered one for my daughter (she's 5 and big into Barbie) and I ordered one for the mother-in-law (email box).

You can get it with or without cpu, I got it with the 533 celery.
And I do plan on repainting the one for the m i l.

We can't forget that there are places for such computers. Of course these just wouldn't do for the tortures we put ours through, but not everyone lives on 'em like us.
Besides, for $200 bucks, you could have a decent head end box for your cable modem network, or a backup incase a nitro-cooling project gets out of hand or you're waiting on an RMA.
They don't have slots, but they have 4 USB's, 2 of which can be put to good use for cable modems, usb nics, hubs, and such. (They have no ps2 ports, usb keyboard and mouse)

Thanks Again!

Man, i must admit i am very frightened about the prospect of such things! They defy the known laws of... stuff! ;)

But I am sure they do have a place in out world, I just hope that place si very, VERY far away from me! :D It woudl definately never hold up to the difficulties presented to being OCed very well though, oh well, guess mattel never figured it for that kinda use. Gee, i wonder why....

Bonus: This machine includes a pink handle at no extra charge!
Pink handles normally cost $39.95 when purchased separately.

Could be used for SETI farming....


I was gonna inquire about a 20 item discount, but being tired has drained my ability to think that far. I do love their site though. I get alot of items through them.

Ah it maybe good for little kids since the pinkish color but from all Overclockers point of view the conclusion will usually all be the same which is disgusting!

The airflow in there must get real bad ...
And the room gets crowded ehhe.

OMG! This thing should be illegal! Worst part is, it needs one of those flat&crappy motherboards. Thank god for spray paint, or computer builders who buy this would be exiled to Madagascar.
