MSI Wind Desktop

Again following in the EEE footsteps, MSI will be putting out a Wind-esque desktop.

They've gone towards promoting it with efficiency, though, demonstrating the power draw as opposed to other desktops, 30w vs. 242w (performing same tasks).



Obviously, with laptop components and the Atom CPU, it's going to draw much less power, but it's an interesting case to make for people who don't need tons of power, or want an SFF style desktop.

Doesn't support 1080p, but does 720p, if you were thinking about using it for home entertainment. It's also very quiet, only one fan in the whole system.

Liliputing

Please remember, none of these laptops or desktops are meant for any sort of heavy duty usage, just surfing, basic office stuff, emailing, etc. Don't get all huffy when it doesn't run HL2 on low settings.

CIO

They are reportedly using 3.5" hard drives, which is probably for price more than anything else. It does have a DVD drive, at least, and will likely retail around $299 complete, (although with no keyboard/monitor) competing with Asus' EEE Desktop directly.
