seems to me like you're the one who dragged the iPad in to an article that had zero mention of it. and if you guys were paying any attention they pretty much across the board have criticized it anyway. they wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't cover it; regardless of whether it's a good product or not, or whether you care or not, the iPad was important news. grow up and if you hate the attention it's gotten quit mentioning it in unrelated articles.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
Would make a great HTPC that you could leave on as a centralized home server with all your recorded TV shows, movies, music, etc. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
"The Wind Box DE220 measures 10.8″ x x 6.7″ x 1.6″"]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
Thanks, thats a nice and small box. May pick one up depending on how soon it will be out and pricing.]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
It wouldn't be ironic, it'd just make this site a little (or a lot...) better than what it is now. Not that I don't like seeing these iPad updates every second of my day, I'd just like to see some [more]... *Real* news.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Thinking of something like this or the Dell Zino next to the tv to stream content.

Doable? Or would it be better to go with something more dedicated?]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
With those upgrades, its taken every 1080P movie I have thrown at it as well as BluRay of course with a DTS signal my receiver can understand all through the single HDMI out.

Fan noise is there, but quiet and inaudible at normal seating distance.]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
How much did that setup cost then? & did u run 1080 over 802N or hd?]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
Sorry, I don't know what 802N is in that context. But it has a built in bluray which is 1080P which goes from the HDMI for video and 7.1 audio into my receiver, which outputs to my plasma. It also does 1080P downloads in various formats fine w/ the shark007 Windows 7 codec pack (will play absolutely anything in media center that way).

I bought them when they were on slickdeals.net:
* 1.80GHz AMD Dual Core X2
* 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x2GB
* 320GB 7200rpm Serial ATA Drive
* 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
* Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n
* Dedicated ATI Radeon HD 4330 512MB of dedicated memory w/ 7.1 DTS audio over HDMI
+ accessories: wired keyboard/mouse
------------------------
* $388.82 (after +8.25% tax and -20% bing cash back)]]>Feb 2nd 2010 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
WAY overpriced for a BluRay player, but that one was a gift and she asked for it.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/I meant wifi. I currently stream content to a dv3(hooked to my bravia via HDMI) from a tower via a WRT150N. I dunno if its cause the desktop is 1.6 core 2 (4 giggs ddr3 + 1G 8800 GT) or the router but after a few mins the bd rips start to stutter like crazy.

I 'm too cheap to buy a $100 wifi adapter for the 360 + that thing is just too freaking hot, loud and unreliable to be used as part of a HT setup!

The choice is b/w a ps3 which from what i've heard does a pretty good job with handling media or buying something like the Zino.

How do you use the Zino? Via keyboard + mouse & do you use stock win7 (media center im presuming) or do you use something like XBMC? I'd image windows looking quite odd on a large tv!]]>Feb 2nd 2010 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
I use the Gyration Music Universal remote control and keyboard, which was $50 after a $50 mail in rebate. Its a pretty accurate air-mouse, and feels kinda like a wiimote.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
With the dedicated video card though, it does have HDMI (with 7.1 sound) output though.]]>Feb 1st 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 1st 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
If not, why are they running cheap underpowered ATOM processors??]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
Friends of mine who would never have considered an HTPC are now looking at the Atom 330 based Revo which can be found for $300, including Windows 7 Home Premium, as their living room PC, especially since it's a one-click install to launch Boxee directly from the W7MC interface.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
And to think people pay all that money for something bubbly and shiny.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/
Apple, although using the same industry standard intel processors, LG LCD screens, hitachi harddrives, nvidia/ati GPUs, sony batteries, and being built in Chinese factories right next to other manufacturers continues to charge exorbitant prices for their equivalent hardware.

Although computer sales are amongst the lowest in the industry, advertising expenditure is the highest of any computer manufacturer by many factors, yet the high profit margins keep the image-oriented niche manufacturer very profitable. =p]]>Feb 2nd 2010 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Looks good though.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/msi-wind-box-de220-displayed-and-detailed/Feb 2nd 2010 6:02AM
