At least Dell has come up with a (semi-)good naming system for form factors.  They are<br><br>1) mini-tower (this is a standard PC tower)<br>2) desktop (this is like the old pizza box but can also stand vertical, think mini-tower but half the width)<br>3) small form factor (SFF) like the desktop only a lot smaller<br>4) ultra-small form factor (USFF), like the SFF but much smaller yet, and has an external power brick, which some love and some hate, also some can be mounted to the back of an LCD<br><br>Can't we just call these USFF's or maybe since they're even smaller, Micro Form Factor, or MFF?  Nettop sounds like something from the circus or something <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Glitter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2009 1:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSI ships $320 Wind Nettop CS120 to US, intros VR430 laptop]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</guid><description><![CDATA[if this had nvidias' ion inside of it (9400M >>>>>>> GMA950), oh man i would instantly buy it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anchit Panchal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 5:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSI ships $320 Wind Nettop CS120 to US, intros VR430 laptop]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</guid><description><![CDATA[needs better graphics, otherwise i dont see any real benefits over getting a U100, except for the optical drive]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pliskin775]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 6:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSI ships $320 Wind Nettop CS120 to US, intros VR430 laptop]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can easily get a better deal from dell on a desk(net?) top]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2009 1:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSI ships $320 Wind Nettop CS120 to US, intros VR430 laptop]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/msi-ships-320-wind-nettop-cs120-to-us-intros-vr430-laptop/</guid><description><![CDATA[Low power + Compact Flash = Embedded Linux install... great for pfSense and Asterisk.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cmariotti]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2009 10:22AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
