FIC's Piston, the cylindrical SFF PC
We know there are going to be a lot of people who are into FIC's latest SFF (small-form-factor) PC, the Piston, which they're showing off at CeBIT. The P4-based barebones pico-BTX machine isn't much different from the rest in its class—carryable size with integrated handle, DDR SDRAM, PCI-Express, Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, drive bay, S-Video, 7.1 surround, and even a mini-PCI card slot; but we gotta admit, $400 is a little too steep, especially for something that might be easily confused with Bazooka subwoofer. Then again, it does actually have a subwoofer built into the chassis (better buy some EMI shielding for that hard drive) as well as two small speakers, so it all kind of makes sense in the end.

















Man. That thing looks like a bomb. I'd like to try and run through my local airport with that.
what happens to the hd when you turn up the bass?....
Anyone?
