If Stealth Computer's
LPC-450 "Little PC" was a little too powerful for you, you may want to consider the company's new LPC-350PCI model, which cuts back on some of the specs but offers a few advantages of its own. The biggest of those is a PCI slot for some added expansion options, although that seems to have come at the expense of the latest and greatest processors, with a Celeron M370 or Pentium M740 your only options here. Otherwise, you'll get up to 2GB of RAM, a standard 80GB hard drive (or optional flash drive), your choice of DVD/CD-RW or DVD-RW drives, and a decent array of ports, including DVI output, FireWire, and three USB ports. If that's not too much of a trade-off for you, you can get one now for just under $1,000 for the base configuration.

So it's bigger, slower, uglier and more expensive than a Mac Mini?
And more useful.
6 months later the fanboy replies. What, did you think that if you posted 6 months later you'd win? You still lose, this PC still sucks.
Does anyone know if you can just buy the motherboard/cpu and customize it yourself?
This computer is actually imported by several companies and almost identical systems are available elsewhere for about half the cost.
If you are going to make something that "attempts" to compete with a Mac Mini you need to at least build something better.
Wow, and I though the Mac mini was overpriced.
Wow I like the $100 Remote power switch (3 foot cable)
Jeesh, you Mac cultists see an Apple in every corner. Thank goodness it's not a Mac Mini, there's Freedom to do with it what you want. This looks like to be a potential great PVR machine. Small form factor with a PCI slot, (shove that in your mini PCI slot, oh that's right you can't.) This is getting toward the right zone for a nice small PVR but I wish there was more than 1 PCI slot. I want to be able to put in two capture cards. DVI out is nice but it would be great if it had better sound outputs.
Wow, at $1000 price tag ... it will remain as a "Stealth" item for me.
since we in mini pc subject, anybody have more info(review) about this mini pc by acer.
Acer Power 1000-240X(AMD X2) or Aspire L320-263X(C2D). it seems to have better spec compare to LPC-350PCI.
