It will be faster, but slightly more expensive.

yeah i know right! That's so fresh!

Olivia: You are the weakest link, goodbye. (laughter)
Stewie: Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!

I agree, kudos to AOpen. Now I'm surprised it wasn't Shuttle, Biostar, or one of the other Cube designers to come up with this.

They are almost identical in apperance, turn the thing white and you'd almost not be able to tell the difference!

Cruise51:

The Mac mini is already silver (it's anodized aluminum around the body). Only the top is whitish, and even then it's a more reflective surface than the bright white of an iMac.

Look very similar to MacMini, don't know about the price yet. Hopefully is using Pentium M & not Prescott (presHOT). 🙂

I'm buying this. I've been a fan of SFFs, but never bought one because they've all been too big. I don't want a power-user SFF, just a quiet one. Shuttle Zen was the closest I ever got to buying one.

Almost bought a Mac Mini when they came out because of the size, price, and low-noise, but I knew something Pentium M based would be just around the corner. And I was right.
