It says 3.5" HDD. Why don't they put a 2.5" drive? it would be smaller and lighter. And a slim CD/DVD drive wouldn't add much volume, but would add a lot of value.

BTW, I recently realised in tests that the Atom multithreading performance is quite awesome due to its hyperthreading. It is really not a mere marketing buzzword. It's like having one core and a half.

No CD drive - these things are presumably intended primarily for workplaces (and I wish we ran smaller, more efficient machines here - although these are a touch slow for me). You don't need a CD drive as you won't be ripping music or playing DVD videos, and any software installs will be from the net. If there are odd occasions when you do want one, no problem, get a single USB DVD drive that will do for an entire office-full of computers since people need them so rarely.

Anyway, looks pretty nice, although shame it doesn't have the PSU built-in. The case isn't *that* small... one of those radio-type two pin connectors should fit just fine, now make everything else smaller to leave room for the PSU inside... hey maybe there's a reason for the 2.5" disk after all.]]>Feb 24th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/Feb 24th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/
I'm not sure what it means, but I think they're up to something.]]>Feb 24th 2009 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/I love my Wind Barebones box that I built.
Looks like they ditched the 5-1/4 bay to get the slimming effect too. That way it's just a case redesign.

I love how it has the DVI in that form factor. ]]>Feb 24th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/24/msi-wind-box-dc100-hands-on/
I too am eagerly awaiting dual core. But with Ion on the horizon, if dual core comes tomorrow, I'll probably end up waiting to see what things ship with Ion before I buy.]]>Feb 25th 2009 12:57AM
