The new sweetness in action (MSI small computer)

yeah, but if only they'd offer a color that would match the rest of my system. 🙂 I can't wait til SFF systems are more affordable and competitive.
 
Someone over at SFFTech said he heard it'll be available in May... take it with a grain of salt, although it doesn't sound too unexpected.
 
Holy cow that computer is cool. Mp3 playback from BIOS!?!? Wonder if the bios supports more than stereo sound...
 
You know, I never once found where it said $399 on that site, even when using "search"! :Q

$400 US??!?! Man that's not cheap... that hurts! I know it's a very cool box and all but yeesh! I can get a brand new Shuttle SB51G (Intel chipset, hyperthreading) for $400 CANADIAN! So why would I spend 50% more than an already-expensive Shuttle?
Well, if I wanted a $200 radio/MP3 player.....

darn. I liked it for the outputs on the back! Why oh why did Shuttle drop parallel only to keep 2 serial ports?? 🙁
 
that's also standard for a SFF pc. all the shuttle's have that I believe. its hard to have more wattage in a very small space, without having a wind tunnel to cool it 🙂

uhhh... i guess i would tend to agree except that I know people who run Radeon 9700s 2x large HDDs, and a sound card on these systems and they are fine.


As for the price, it didn't say in that article, but check the SFFTech forums, admin posted there that it's 400 beans for the advanced model (6 in 1 reader, TV tuner).

I run a gig of memory, p4 2.53 oc 2.71
AIW 9700, 2 160 gig hard drives, dvd-rom, and added an internal fan and it runs fine. I run all of this on a sb51g to be exact.
 
I spoke with MSI about the release and they told me the end of May. they said it was in full production already. However, they wouldn't tell me a price. I want one real bad.
