MSI keeps racing with Asus. They have now released a new nettop called the Wind Box, but instead of taking the Wii-lookalike standalone approach of the Asus Eee Box, MSI has designed their slim, tiny black computer to attach to the back of any VESA-mountable monitor, effectively converting it into an all-in-one computer. Smart, and with nice enough features:


• Intel Atom N270 CPU
• 1GB of RAM
• 160GB HD.
• Three USB ports.
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Wi-Fi b/g
• Windows XP

It weighs 500 grams and measures 300 mm x 240 mm x 65 mm. It has been announced in France for for $US254. [Journal du Geek via Pocket Lint]

    The Asus EEE Box already does this. So MSI aren’t doing anything new.

    what about heat dissapation?
    it might be a good idea to add a few centimeter long spacers to allow air to flow between the tv and pc.
