Wii PC from Shuttle

It's actually a pretty decent little computer:

1.83ghz Core Duo processor
128mb X1400 Radeon video card with DVI & S-Video
250gb SATA hard drive
512mb ram

If it came with that stand I wouldn't mind picking one up. It'd look nice next to my 2005fpw :D For size reference, there is a USB port on the front bottom.

I'm actually quite intrigued. This or an ancestor of this design might be my next computer. I'm getting tired of building my own machines these days...all I use my computer for is internet related work, programming, and my photography work (non-intensive). I'm sure this will be much more reasonably priced than a mac.

That's exactly the same reason that I want to get smaller PCs, or laptops, whenever I'm due to replace my desktops.

Yeah, especially with the fact that it can take a full-sized 3.5" hard drive...unless you're doing video games or are heavy into 3D graphics, that video card is pretty decent. For everything else it seems like a great computer...I'm sure the Core Duo processor is upgradable, the ram can go up to 2 gigs, and it probably uses a slimline slotload DVD drive which means you can toss in a Pioneer DVR-K06 for like $70. I'm interested in it as well :)

I was excited for a second thinking that they had a wii with computer functionality.

but this is still pretty neat.
