Scooter

Nettop
Home Theater PC
Scooter is a Dell Inspiron 400 Zino HD. This computer's role in life is to be permanently connected to my TV and allow me access to my movies, music, and online streaming content from the comfort of my family room. This is an ultra-compact form factor PC (roughly 8 inches by 8 inches and 3 inches tall), so it aesthetically fits nicely into the rest of my home theater, and is paired with a unique compact keyboard/touchpad input device which looks similarly at home on my coffee table. Scooter doesn't have to be super powerful to perform its tasks, so this computer will not receive as many upgrades as my other computers.
This computer was originally obtained March 12, 2010.
This computer was retired on December 26, 2014, when he was replaced with Aloysius.
