Nah, it's not surprising that
yet another company is tacking an "i" onto its
product line and dousing each unit in glossy white, and
Mouse Computer's latest lineup of desktops certainly fits the aforementioned mold. Arriving in both micro tower and slimline models, these new machines offer up a multitude of hardware options including a number of Intel Core 2 Duo processors, a dual-layer DVD writer, up to 2GB of RAM, a 15-in-1 flash card reader, and
NVIDIA's 256MB GeForce 8500 GT (or the 8400GS in the slim model). Additionally, the skinnier sibling (seen after the break) can be equipped with up to 250GB of SATA hard drive space while the micro machine can house 320GB of capacity. Each model in the new i-Friend series looks to be on sale now, and prices will range from ¥79,800 ($676) to ¥129,800 ($1,100) depending on how you configure.

Pretty cool.
But the '90s called and want their speakers back.
That's right about the speakers. >_>
I have one that looks just like that sitting in my closet right now. LOL
(And, I bought it back in the late 90s, sometime around 1999 or 1998.)
Same with the mouse. Sheesh!
Same with the whole damn computer!
Ha, it looks like a Packerd Bell circa 1995.
They also want their keyboard back.
And Apple called from last week and said "good design".
90' called. They want their computer and accessories design back!
90's called. They want their double post back!
The only thing that doesnt look from the 90s would be the towers. I'm glad someone else finally put some thought into their design. Silver and black just makes me wanna barf.
The 90s called, they said quit using old jokes... (If only there was a way to make that joke without using an old joke to accomplish it)
I want the bottom model with a 3.5 diskette driver, an IBM 15'(14 inches viewable) CRT monitor, a 29k modem
+
A retail copy of Doom off course.
Way too advanced for my taste. I'll take the version that comes with a 5 1/4" drive and no hard drive. I'd also like an 14" RGB monitor and, ooh, a 700 baud modem so I can check out all the latest WWIV BBS's out there! Yeah!
(Those were the days)
I find it funny that Apple is leaving glossy white with the iMac but someone else is coming right in to fill the void :-).
That mini kind of looks like a nin 64...
Why is this news? A completely vanilla computer in 90s facade only available in Japan?
All they did was make the beige paler.
I'm no iFanboy but the colour wasnt what made iMacs look good, you need a good design.
Ah, don't worry, it'll be beige sometime in the 2010s
Despite of everything you people say...it's actually a pretty good deal.
Ever wonder what would happen to your mom's old Celeron-366 eMachines desktop after you sent it off to be recycled?
