Oh, it's SOOOOO sexy

 

[Rufio]

It's just like the Shuttle barebones in the back. http://www.soldam.com/barebone/polo_r_figaro/fav/images/d8.gif

Soldam definitely is awesome, but the fact that they want to only sell to end users and ship from Japan is not helping much. Imagine how things would be if their products were distributed in N.AMerica. Oh baby! We'd be all over them.

I know - it sucks. I've been following their designs for about two years. They had a mini pc out before shuttle did, and it looked better too. I too with that they would start selling their designs here in the US

The only thing that concerns me about the case is the fact that it would be hard finding a new drive to go in the slot loading CD bay once you need a new one.

very cool mini unit, like the chipset and agp slot. little pricey, but nice!

It looks like a new type of toaster.

Um Soldam will be making somes cases for shuttle. I saw the link on HardOCP a few days ago.

click (look toward the bottom)

Looks pretty but I'm more intersted in the functionality of the MSI Mega PC. I want to see a pic of it next to a shuttle to get a feel for how big it is.

130,000 yen ~= $1000 US!!! :Q

I'm with you! I'm holding out on my SFF purchase for the MSI MEGA! Oh yeah!
And the two colours are platform specific after all... Yellow for AMD, green for Intel. Or vice versa.....

 

[bluemax]

Oh, and BTW....
It's "compare".

Little pricey?!?! The top one's >$1,000!!! It only has an 8x burner, and you'd have a hard time replacing that because of the slot. It doesn't even come with a proc, just a case, CDRW and mobo. FOR $1,000!!!!

That case, no matter how cool it is (and it definitely is), is not worth $800. They should sell that case by itself in America for a reasonable price ($200 is very reasonable for just the case and PS IMO) and they'd sell like hotcakes.

*shudder* it looks like a mac. I hate mac hardware.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Looks like my Proctor-Silex toaster, no thanx.

 

[sandorski]

My bro recently showed me a picture of a case that was pretty sweet. It was almost as small as these cases, but was able to take a full size ATX mobo. It did this by using a T shape. The front of the case looked like a mini, but the back(the top of the T) was as big as an ATX mobo and that's where the mobo was mounted. I'll try and get a pick.

 

[optimistic]

There's a new forum for this.
