Nordic styling?

Although, I'm not sure if it'd make a huge difference to the video quality coming out of the box.]]>Jan 15th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/I built it just before Christmas.

2GB RAM, WinXP Pro running from a high-performance 16GB Compact Flash card and 2tb of hard disk storage spread out over two HDs.
It's also a perfect stand for a little 19" LCD HDTV that doubles as it's monitor.

The thing runs great and has been doing so 24/7 since I built it.
When the drives spin down and the printer goes to sleep my UPS tells me the thing draws about 35 watts or so.

They're easy to build and cleverly designed. I love mine!

It's a great box for use as a server/nas/divx video player, but it cannot handle Hulu HD and it just barely handles youtube when connected to my TV at 1280x720. I don't think the new Atom processor will be all that helpful here, what it really needs is better graphics.]]>Jan 15th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/
Dual core, would theoretically make it better at that, and 2GB of ram instead of the 1GB that comes with most netbooks.

Either way, I'm liking the way this trend in computing is going. I'm going to set my parents up an HTPC soon, and this is great news.]]>Jan 15th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Mar 31st 2009 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/]]>Jan 15th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 15th 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 15th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 15th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 15th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 15th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/Jan 16th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/15/msi-announces-wind-nettop-d130-the-desktop-with-nordic-stylin/http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodtmpspec&maincat_no=134&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1594#
