If Stealth Computer's
LPC-450 was just a bit
too diminutive for your tastes, you'll be thrilled to know that the latest flavor has been opened up a bit to make room for a PCI card of your choosing. As was the case with the
LPC-350PCI Little PC, this iteration includes PCI expansion slot capability along with a Core 2 Duo processor and an anodized aluminum chassis that could probably be dropped from the rear of a moving truck sans issue. Additionally, you'll find Ethernet, USB (x3), FireWire, PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, a 160GB hard drive (or an SSD, if you choose) and an optional DVD burner to boot. Seems as if these are made to be customized, so feel free to give Stealth a ring if you're interested in claiming one as your own.

It looks so nice. If only it supports PCI-Express x16 I will get one.
Definitely. Its sexy and tiny, you can abuse it, it won't give you any issues, and you can change it how you please. Who needs teh womans?
You joined today! Little Buddha, Welcome to Engadget! ;)
Glad to be here.
think it looks like 32-bit/33mhz pci. you know, the kind that your pII had.
but still, pretty nice that it even has one at all. Although i don't really know what I might need one for in that kind of form factor. I could put a GeForce 2 in it? Wireless adapter, which it probably should have come with in the first place?
10" x 5.8" x 2.8" and ~10 lbs, also.
and i just read the rest of the comments: if it cost under 1/2 that much, it would be a good/interesting product for hobbyists, car PC's, routers, servers of some kind, etc. But i'm suddenly not at all interested in getting one anymore.
Addams Family's Thing not included
That's a deal-breaker.
Let me answer questions for your pleasure: (As again, no offense)
Q: Will it run Doom?
A: YES! So obvious an old game will play on this thing!
Q: Will it blend?
A: No. Common sense will tell that the unit will not fit....
....Common sense - however - can and will be wrong if your common sense is full of nonsense. :)
but can it play a stupid Super Mario clone with Mario substituted with Cartman from South Park?
True, but it can't play Crysis...
You give me two of these, a hammer, a hacksaw and a blender an i'll make sure it blends.
I'll even use the second one to upload a video as proof.
$1450 for this!? Are you kidding????
really? it's that much? i just had a small aneurysm
if that price is right, it sure puts the mac mini price in a whole different light.

lmao and that's just the base configuration price!
Yeah but thats Canadian. So in US dollars that's like $2800 these days.
WTH at the pricing. I rather buy a laptop than that any day. Pricing is wayyyy off.
lol @ JP23
somebody doesn't know what current exchange rates are...
lol @ rich.
It is obvious that sarcasm is lost to some people...
Mac mini is about 1/10th the power of this machine. Also, canadian currency may be more highly valued, but it's only equaled inflation for them. We leave goods and services at the same price. Don't believe me? Go pick up a book.
Alright, I'm holding a book... What's the next step?
@ kallie....
"Mac mini is about 1/10th the power of this machine."
you're kidding right? are you that brain dead?
stealth:
1.66ghz core 2 duo
512mb ram
combo drive
80gb hdd
total: $1,450 (US)
mac mini:
2.0ghz core 2 duo
1gb ram
superdrive (dvd burner)
120gb hdd
total: $799 (US)
if you max out the stealth box... it comes to over $2500. for that amount of money, i can buy THREE mac minis and build my own cluster. how you came to your conclusion, i have no freaking idea.
why would anyone spend this much on such a handicapped machine?.... especially when you could pick up a mac mini for less than half the cost, which looks a hell of a lot nicer.
Sorry, but I really like the look of that black anodized case...
a black anodized mini itx case is worth more than $700 to you??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I was replying to the fact that he was saying the Mac Mini looks nicer, which, in my opinion, does not, numbnuts.
again.... changing the color is worth $700-800 to you?????? and 'i' am the numbnuts?
good luck in life. it looks like you'll need it.
Wow, are you seriously this fucking stupid? I mentioned NOTHING of the price. I'm not talking about the price. The price has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE AT HAND. I figured this would be CLEAR, but apparently you're to fucking thick to get it.
The Stealth looks better in my opinion. The price is atrocious. But then again, the looks has absolutely NOTHING to do with price.
The funny thing is you say I'll need good luck in life, when you're as simple as you have just proven yourself to be.
you responded to a post talking about the pricing of the machine in relation to the mac mini. then proceeded to garner praise for a color and finish of a case that is priced so ridiculously high, that you could literally have your own case for a mac mini fabricated for cheaper.
psstt... you've got a little drool running down your chin. might want to close your mouth when you breathe.
That still doesn't matter, you retard. If I were taking price into consideration, I would have mentioned it. As it stands, my post clearly states that I like the look of the Stealth better. Only a fucking moron (apparently like you) would assume that I was implying that it's worth the price.
You must have failed English, because reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
"Only a fucking moron (apparently like you) would assume that I was implying that it's worth the price."
Or someone that knew how to read, and saw that was the topic of the original post. Now, do you mind keeping your temper tantrum to a minimum here?
It doesn't matter what the original post is- what I said mentioned nothing of price, which is a dead giveaway that price wasn't even considered nor was it an issue.
Thanks for proving me right though; as I have said before, these comment sections are filled with absolute retards.
"It doesn't matter what the original post is...."
"these comment sections are filled with absolute retards."
the irony here is absolutely delicious. have you met kettle yet?
You aren't serious are you? You're calling ME a retard after you've proven YOURSELF to be just that?
Thats fuckin' rich.
Well, I'm not wasting any more of my time on you, because its painfully apparent that you have the reading skills of a 1st grader.
taking your ball and going home? good luck in life, corky.
No aesthetic value whatsoever...
hmm, must be Dr. Sung's work.
i don't know about you but this thing will look tits next to my sandwich maker
At least it doesn't look like a George Foreman... :O
will it play crysis?
wait, was that a real question?
um, it obviously won't. i would like for someone to come up with the "smallest computer to run Crysis" award. that would be cool...
http://www.stealth.ca/pb/index.php?comp=LPC450PCI confirms the $1450 price.
Ironically the naming convention alludes to the price of the system minus the thousand dollars :]
LPC450PCI
$1450
They're just distracting you with all those letters and acronyms.
That thing looks only slightly bigger than an 8800 Ultra.
Hmm with that form factor, there are lots of possibilities with this thing. Use inside a vehicle for example or for tour buses, RV's etc.
Tour busses? Cool, now we can use our geek cred to get bitchin roadie jobs!
where are the apple lovers showing love for mac minis?
that thing is useless. i rather buy a high end desktop.
Here's basically the exact same PC from Simplified Innovtion, a US company, starting in the mid $500 range.
http://www.simplifiedinnovation.com/IS8620H%20Specifications%20v11.12.04.htm
There are other companies importing this same system too. The case design has been around for a few years.
I don't really see the benefit with this machine. We already have something that's call a LAPTOP.
I mean if that tiny thing is as powerful as a quadcore with a 8800gt, then yeah I see there's a future for it.
That price is crazy. Why wouldn't i just build a shuttle for half or less that price?
