Mouse Computer -- who recently elicited a 'swoon' with their new Core i7 offering -- is back on the scene with a punchy little nettop for those of you requiring something a little less substantial. The perky, quirky EGPA33DR32XP (what a catchy name!) boasts an Atom processor with up to 2GB of RAM, 320GB HDD, and XP Home. Prices start at ¥39,800 (roughly $400). Available in Japan.

$20 says there is some troll company waiting until the major players start using the term "Nettop" so that they can sue for $10,000,000...
Great, now I can replace my DFOX22CQ16ME :D
Stop calling them nettops. Its annoying.
looks cheap n nasty ?
Like you my good sir (Pops mouth with palm)
Does that come with a screen for that price? You can get a Mac Mini for only $150 and it's a Core 2 Duo and can play 1080P HD easily.
$ 150 really cause umm apples site says they start at $599 or are you getting the fallen off a truck discount
WHERE?
that is...about as good as a mac mini...but its only available in Japan which means that I'll have to stick with the mac mini :P
glad they showed a messy desk...
similar machine costs 260 Euro without XP in Germany,

As someone who is a strong supporter of netbooks (I am currently typing on a AAO) I find this product pointless. The reason someone would want a netbook is because they are small and portable, and perform most of the functions people need. With an underpowered desktop, size and style are large factors (such as the eee keyboard computer, and the touchscreen eee pc desktop). Why wold you want a desktop computer that is an average size, at a price that is not competitive with larger desktops with much greater specs, or more tylish desktops with greater specs (Dell studio mini and mac mini)?
Seems like they might be useful as web terminals at public places like schools and libraries. Or as a barebones media server (with a 320GB HDD, I guess that's what they're shooting for).
