Stealth introduces Core 2 Duo-equipped LPC-650 Mini PC

Man, it's been awhile since we've seen any miniature machines from the labs of Stealth, but the outfit is returning over a year after introducing its LPC-350PCI with the even tinier LPC-650. Featuring a mildly attractive 6.54- x 6.18- x 1.89-inch aluminum chassis with a Core 2 Duo within, the micro PC is also stocked with gigabit Ethernet, a slot-loading optical drive, optional SSD, WiFi, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a rather respectable array of ports including twin USB 2.0 jacks, HDMI, audio in / out and a RS-232 socket. Unfortunately, you'll be paying a serious premium for all the space savings -- it gets going at $1,595, and it's only up from there depending on CTO options.

This looks an awful lot like a rebadged AOpen DE965: http://vip.aopen.com/usa/products_DE_DE965HG.htm . The curious thing is that the AOpens don't cost anywhere near $1600.

Stop doing that, it's not funny! Even if it was, smart people will never get it. They are smart enough to not to believe in every seemly simple things.

Oh good god, it's a rebranded AOpen barebones. It's literally the "industrial style" version of their MiniPC product. I process RMAs for almost this *exact* same model daily. Big problems we see are overheating and network connectivity issues (though the latter probably has more to do with the crappy, generic Realtek NIC).
