AOpen improves on their mini pc with the MP945-VXR. Fans of small computing will enjoy the Intel 945GM chipset which provides Gigabit Ethernet, DVI, Firewire and USB support. There's a single slot for DDR2 memory up to 667Mhz, and no PCI express slots—only a miniPC connector used for WiFi.
The brains consist of a Core Duo processor that has support for Intel ViiV. Available for $955, which is a little bit more than the Mac Mini. This'll be good for quiet home theatre systems or people who like to keep their work area nice and tidy.
