Can you make i5 + mobility Radeon + mainboard + Psu + Ram, + case +heatsink

for sub 350$ ? ]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Yest, it will be more expensive, but it will be worth it. A laptop with the i5 540m and a Mobility Radeon 5650 costs about 6 405 NOK + taxes.This translates to about $1000 in the US since things generally are cheaper there.

Remove the screen and the keyboard and you can cut of atleast another $100.

So no, you can't get it at $350, but that's not the price point they should aim for, it's not a direct competitor to the nettop, it's something better, the same way a laptop is better then a netbook.]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/
The difference is that these two examples are more like half-cubes, and not slim, vertically-mounted devices. However, except for the low-end Zino models, they'll probably do as good a job (or better) than these things. It comes at a cost, though.

The point of PCs like this one, or the EeeBox, or the Acer Aspire Revo, is to be cheeeap. And there are plenty of us who want those as well. But don't despair -- in addition to the Mac Mini and the Zino, there are probably other PCs out there that are what you're looking for -- mid-range to high-end laptop parts in a desktop form factor -- for a higher price.]]>Mar 9th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/
As far as I know neither the Mac Mini or the Zino has the bitstreaming that the Mobility Radeon 5-series has. And the other PCs I know of with such parts are all-in-one PCs like the MSI Windtop etc.

And none in the slim formfactor that I want. And I'm pretty sure there is a big market for that form factor. Compuers like the one I dream should have the same marketshare as the Samsung "slim BR-player". It can be a crucial part of a "high-end" living room, replacing both the TV-tuner and BR-player in one smooth brushed steel/aluminum box. If I had the skill to build my own chassis I'd buy a laptop with the parts and rebuild it, but unfortunately I don't.]]>Mar 9th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Mar 9th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Mar 9th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Mar 9th 2010 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/
you'll get what you pay for... ]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/
Oh I'm not doubting that at all, and I REALLY want one of those. I just know they're going to be spendy, that's all.]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/
I was wondering if this would be covered other then with a press release. This looks very nice; it will be interesting to see if Shuttle can compete head-to-head with Asus and Acer who have almost the same form factor for low prices.

Shuttle has usually had no competition in the sff high-power desktop category. I wonder if they will be able to keep up with the competition in the very sff, low power nettop market.

And where is the news of the Asrock HD100 that was released at Cebit?]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.newgadgets.de/10602/bilder-vom-shuttle-xs35-ion-2-nettop/]]>Mar 9th 2010 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Mar 9th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/shuttles-ion-2-equipped-xs35-shows-off-its-slimline-nettop-cred/Mar 9th 2010 6:15PM
