Oh, and just for the hell of it, "VGA" is a graphics standard; the cable itself is more appropriately called a D-subminiature 15 cable, or D-sub 15, or HD-15 in some cases.]]>Jan 26th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/
Of course VGA is a standard, but "VGA connector" implies intent while dsub15 is ambiguous to any specific purpose. Besides, everyone calls it a VGA connector. This is why everyone calls networking wire "ethernet wire" rather than RJ-45 & Cat5-6, because it can be wired so many different ways for so many purposes.]]>Jan 26th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RJ-45]]>Jan 26th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/
Even if this sells for the same price as and actual Wind, it's still a deal. I'd expect it to be cheaper without battery and LCD. Thin terminals typically cost $300-$500.. and run Win CE or something and use a low power non-x86 cpu so they can't run anything except the OS they come with.

This is market changing. Most computers at my work could easily be replaced with one of these and the employees wouldn't even know. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Jan 26th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/atom-powered-msi-windbox-nearly-ready-to-ride-your-lcd/Also, can i cram in 3gb instead?

The carputer doesn't need a ton of power, either, and having a box like this (7" x 10" x .8") makes for an easy thin under-seat or glovebox mount, and a flash/SSD-based external drive connection would be perfect for a carputer's rough ride.

It's not meant for high-end graphics, like some people here seem to want it to be - it's for distributed computing. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 12:27PM
