I built one using a barebones Wind box from newegg and it's been great.]]>Dec 25th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 26th 2008 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 26th 2008 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/
Hopefully we will see smaller form factors.]]>Dec 25th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Soon even TV remotes will be substituted by small microphones, and kboards & mice will go the way of the dodo, but what will take their place will not be touch tech but voice recognition tech. This is what I use for my company's Uber-digiframes (with Wifi, Skype, landline phone,browser, push e-mail, dtv-b,webcam & mic, motion detection, & other stuff).
Being only a 10" screen my products also use a touch screen steered by a linux icon-based software , but all of my clients bar none tell me that once they start using the voice commands they never touch the screen again, and in fact I plan to drop this feature from the next batch of products.
Humans communicate by voice not by touch and machines should adapt to human needs not the other way around.
The moral of this story?
Buy shares in voice tech companies and sell those of companies producing touch screens bigger than 10". Or even better buy shares in my company (if and when they will be for sale)]]>Dec 25th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/

How is that going to work in a busy crowded office with many people talking at the same time?
How about when you want to type up something private or confidential?
Or simply browse the net whilst watching the tv? The family aren't gonna be happy with you barking commands at the laptop whilst watching the box.]]>Dec 25th 2008 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2008/10/13519/ and end up having something AWESOME!... maybe...]]>Dec 25th 2008 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 26th 2008 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 26th 2008 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Sorry.....]]>Dec 25th 2008 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Jan 1st 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/
For those questioning the need for these little machines, look no further than your utility bill. Up until recently I always let my gaming machine serve double-duty as a light media server. It's efficient by gaming standards, but I verified that it still eats about 5 times more power than my nettop.

Plus during the summer my gaming PC would raise the temp in my home office 3 to 5 degrees.

It also doesn't hurt that I'm not running my highly overclocked gaming components 24/7.]]>Dec 25th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 26th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/Dec 25th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/msi-wind-desktop-now-available-in-japan-slightly-less-barebones/"Supports two SATAII devices" & "Maximum cost-effectiveness utilized the highest performance and scalability of the 3.5-inch hard drive"

No real instructions on where the front panel plugs into the motherboard, so when you take it apart be aware what and where stuff goes! IMHO the case design just stinks. DVD drive hits the power plug on motherboard, CF card location IMHO
This is not my only MSI computer I love my netbook.]]>Jan 3rd 2009 12:50PM
