    Such an obvious idea in hindsight, but what a great one to execute! The specs look underpowered but I hope this'll catch on so we get more beefy, yet slim, DIY-AIO rigs. :)

    Call me stupid ... but i have been looking for exactly that product for years.


    I need a computer in my kitchen for online cookbooks, recepie collections and so on ... just small stuff ... maybe surf the net a bit and skype while cooking (yeah i cook a lot) and this is the one thing that delivers.


    God i love it. Its amazing.

    @Redwraithvienna: can please everybody. a usb dongle is too much for you. or to splurge 20-100 bucks on a wireless desktop is just out of the question. Name me ONE all in one PC that includes this.


    Greed I despise, but incompetent arrogance, and boastful ignorance is detestable most amongst them all.

    @Redwraithvienna: me too. I run a catering business part time and this would be perfect to review orders and recipies as well as keep a "virtual" whiteboard up and running

    @aerospaceman: It wouldn't have the VESA mounts on it (CRTs are a bit to heavy to mount on anything ;) ) but yeah, there is no reason you couldn't set it off to the side (or duct tape to the back as mentioned above).

    @tande04: Although, if you're setting it to the side there are comparable, or more powerful, micro PC's in that price range.


    Just sayin.... :)

    Great idea - this is awesome as a parents or inlaws PC - give them the 19" you don't need any more with this thing clipped to the back, since all they do is send email and surf the web.

    @Canoehead: Don't forget a VNC app. For when they mysteriously get adware from some porno site, a site selling Viagra, or cheap Rolex and $eiko watch site.

    Seriously, whoever thought this up needs a medal. This is like perfect for someone who wants to make a kitchen/bathroom PC. The only downside would be the power cord, but I'm sure you can find a work around.

    @pmathews: You attach it to a swing arm mount and you can browse the web while you shave. Or, if you are real adventurous, mount it behind some plexi and use a waterproof keyboard and you can do your email/porn while in the shower.

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: The steam would be bad, like if you had the shower going. Maybe a Plexiglas enclosure would help it not fry, but it would still get on the screen. Needs a defogger contraption too. For power, call an electrician to run you a special line. Extra cheap if you've got an electrician buddy.
